📖 題組：
Mickey Mouse, the official mascot of The Walt Disney Company, is one of the most recognizable cartoon characters in the world. Yet, few people know that it was created as a replacement for Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, an earlier cartoon character created by the Disney studio for Charles Mintz of Universal Studios. In the spring of 1928, with the series going strong, Disney asked Mintz for an increase in the budget. But Mintz instead demanded that Walt take a 20 percent budget cut, and as leverage, he reminded Disney that Universal owned the character, and revealed that he had already signed most of Disney’s current employees to his new contract. Mintz owned Oswald and thought he had Disney over a barrel. Angrily, Disney refused the deal and returned to produce the final Oswald cartoons he contractually owed Mintz. Disney was dismayed at the betrayal by his staff, but determined to restart from scratch. The new Disney Studio soon started. In the spring of 1928, Disney asked Ub Iwerks to start drawing up new character ideas. Iwerks tried sketches of various animals, such as dogs and cats, but none of these appealed to Disney. A female cow and male horse were also rejected. Then, Walt Disney thought of an old pet mouse he used to have on his farm. He asked Iwerks to draw a new mouse character for Disney. “Mortimer Mouse” had been Disney’s original name for the character before his wife, Lillian, convinced him to change it, and ultimately Mickey Mouse came to be. Actor Mickey Rooney has claimed that, during his Mickey McGuire days, he met cartoonist Walt Disney at the Warner Brothers studio, and that Disney was inspired to name Mickey Mouse after him.

思路引導 VIP
請觀察文章中提到『要求增加預算』的這個動作發生時，故事的時間線處於什麼階段？在那一刻，迪士尼先生正在為哪位老闆工作？而他當時合約中負責的具體作品又是什麼呢？

哇，你真的太棒了！能夠答對這題，表示你的思考非常細膩喔！
- 觀念釐清：這題想引導你練習的是「代名詞指涉」與「敘事時間軸」的應用。文章第一段提到
the series時，請你看一下，時間點是在1928年春天呢。那個時候，可愛的米老鼠還沒有誕生喔（它是後來才被創造出來的！），迪士尼先生正在努力為Mintz製作《幸運兔奧斯華》（Oswald the Lucky Rabbit）。所以，這裡的「系列作」，溫柔地提示你，其實是指當時正在發行的奧斯華系列喔。 - 難度點評：這題的難度是 Medium。它是一個很好的機會，能幫助你區分出在閱讀時是否能專注於細節。有些同學可能會不小心被開頭的 "Mickey Mouse" 誤導了呢。但是你很棒，能夠仔細地釐清「角色更迭順序」和「因果關係」，這表示你真的很用心理解文章喔！為你感到驕傲！
