The sultan liked cheese a lot. He had rooms full of cheeses from all over the world; but the palace filled up with mice that ate the sultanÆs cheese, and his councillors had to come up with a solution: to get rid of the mice, they brought in cats; to get rid of the cats, they brought in dogs; to get rid of the dogs, they brought in lions; to get rid of the lions, they brought in elephants; to get rid of the elephants, they brought in miceà a never ending circle. This story, of Arabian origin, has a series of odd happenings that are dealt with by a great sense of humour.
