THE TOWN MOUSE AND THE COUNTRY MOUSE
Once a Town Mouse visited his cousin
a Country Mouse for lunch. Welcome, cousin. It is so good to see you. They enjoyed a simple meal of fresh acorn wheat stalk and refreshing cold water. After that the mice sat for hours and told each other stories from their lives. When it was nighttime they slept under the starry sky and were awakened by the gentle warmth of the morning sun.They continued talking over breakfast
till it was time for the Town Mouse to leave. Cousin, thank you for the lovely time. Why don’t you come with me and spend time in the town with me? The Country Mouse was so impressed with the stories . she had heard of the life in the town that she readily agreed and left with her cousin.By the time they reached the Town Mouse’s house in the town
it was afternoon and they were both very hungry. The Country Mouse smelled lovely aroma of the food left over in the dining room where humans had just finished their lunch. The hungry Country Mouse dashed towards it immediately when the Town Mouse called out.Cousin! Watch out for the Cat.
Meow! The Country Mouse scurried back to the hole in the wall where the Town Mouse’s house was. Once the cat was gone the Country Mouse tried to make its way to the food again. No, no! Wait for the servants and the House Dog.The Country Mouse once again rushed back into the hole in the wall
as it saw a parade of servants followed by the House Dog come in and clear the table. The Country Mouse picked up his hat and bag. Cousin, I am very happy for your cozy luxurious town life. But I am happy in my humble country life where there may be simple food but at least I can enjoy it at my will and with security. And so the Country Mouse returned to her home no longer feeling envious of her cousin.- Get link
