"That's a fine picture of a horse,"said the doctor. The boy looked up happily. Young Walt Disney loved to draw."I draw all day long, but I have work to do,"he told his friend Dr. Sherwood. Walt's father had many jobs for him to do."Stop all that drawing,"Mr. Disney would say,"there's work to be done.?br />
When he was older, Walt decided to make art his work .He worked hard drawing cartoons. When he had time, he studied art. He began to make cartoon movies. But he didn't have much money and he didn't always have enough to eat. Sometimes when he worked in his little office, a mouse would run near his desk."Would you like to be my pet?"Walt asked the mouse. He caught the mouse and kept him as a pet. He called him Mortimer. A few years later, Walt remembered Mortimer and decided to make a cartoon about him."I'm making a cartoon about a mouse named Mortimer,"he told his wife."Mortimer Mouse? I think Mickey Mouse would be a better name,"she said."You are right. It would."Disney made many Mickey Mouse cartoons. People all over the world saw Mickey and loved him. Mickey Mouse made Walt Disney famous. Then came Donald Duck, and Goofy and others.Walt began to make full length cartoons. One was Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
