The climax of the story is famous for its emotional impact. After the wedding, as is the nature of mice, Pérez cannot resist a piece of cheese or a treat left out in the kitchen. In many versions, he dies suddenly—often due to eating something that disagrees with him, falling into a pot of boiling water, or being caught in a trap.

Martina is a beautiful, proud mouse who lives in a fine Spanish colonial home. She receives many suitors, including a donkey, a dog, a pig, and a goat. However, one day Perez the cockroach arrives, dressed in his finest clothes and singing sweetly. Martina is charmed—until a tragic-comic accident occurs while they are eating soup. Perez falls into the hot soup bowl and is gravely injured. What follows is a series of animal friends (a needle, a pin, an orange, and others) trying to help, but the story ends with a poignant lesson about vanity, pride, and the consequences of superficial choices.
