A long time ago (Medieval times) there was a flower that symbolized the health and good fortune of the city, kind of like Beauty and the Beast. People always looked to the flower for hope. One day during a meeting, a mouse chewed on the roots of the flower. People were horrified and over the next few days the flower slowly died. After the flower was dead, a grand army came to the city's gates and demanded concession. After this event, an artist carved this picture and added a mouse in the bottom left corner. People to this day rub the little mouse as a respect for the problems he can cause.
