Le Dernier Dîner de Mickey: The Tragic Tale of Mickey Mouse
Mickey Mouse, a world traveler and lover of exotic cuisine, sat down at a cozy bistro in the heart of Paris. The warm scent of butter, garlic, and fresh herbs wafted through the air. Donald Duck had recommended Le Petit Régal for its famous poisson meunière.
Mickey Mouse removed his little gloves, and confidently spoke in his best French, “Un poison, s’il vous plaît!”
The waiter, Goofy, blinked.
“Poison?” he asked.
“Oui oui, poison!” Mickey repeated, grinning and nodding vigorously.
Goofy, confused but committed to guest satisfaction, went into the kitchen. Unfortunately, the restaurant had just dealt with a rodent issue. A tray labeled Poison, containing potent rat poison mixed into dough, was tucked away in the back.
Minutes later, Mickey was served.
He took a bite, paused, frowned, and clutched his chest. A gasp escaped his lips. “That doesn’t taste like trout…”
Seconds later, he collapsed face-first into the bread basket.
Minnie Mouse screamed. The kitchen panicked. Donald Duck stormed in late and shouted, “What the quack happened!?”
