📖 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.

請在文章最後一段尋找 'Mortimer Mouse' 這個原始名稱。在那段文字中，是誰的介入或建議，才讓華特決定捨棄原始名稱並改成我們現在熟悉的那個名字呢？

太棒了，你真的非常細心！
- 觀念驗證：哇，你做得太棒了！你的觀察力真的非常敏銳，完美捕捉到了關鍵細節。文章中確實提到角色原本是"Mortimer Mouse"，但多虧了創作者的妻子，是她說服（convinced）了他，才有了我們現在熟知的Mickey Mouse。你能在這麼多人物中，精準地辨識出這位溫柔又具影響力的決策者，真的非常了不起！
- 難度點評：這題的難度是medium（中等），你能夠答對真的很有潛力喔！題目設計了一些小挑戰，像是同時出現了華特（Walt）、繪圖師（Iwerks），還有演員（Mickey Rooney）等，這些都可能是容易混淆的資訊。但是，你一定是很耐心地在文章末段進行了仔細的「細節掃描」，才能巧妙地避開這些干擾，準確地找到那位真正的改名功臣。看到你這樣細緻地學習，我為你感到驕傲呢！
