Tired of loneliness and looking for a friend, Tik-Tik Khanum meets many animals. However, she does not like the character of any of them. Finally, a Mouse promises to be loyal, and Tik-Tik Khanum agrees to live together with him. One day, noticing that the Mouse, who had gone to deliver food supplies to the Khan’s palace, is taking a long time to return, Tik-Tik Khanum sets out in search of him and falls into a river. No matter how hard she tries, she cannot get out of the water and nearly drowns. Hearing about this from horsemen on their way to a wedding, the Mouse rushes to save Tik-Tik Khanum.
