The Town Mouse and The Country Mouse

A country mouse lives in the countryside. He likes to eat fruits. He is happy. One day, his cousin comes from the town.

The country mouse gathers many fruits for the town mouse, but the town mouse does not like fruit. “This food is horrible!” he says. “Come to the town with me, life in town is much more fun.” So, the country mouse follows his cousin to the town. 

They come to a big house. They enter under the back door. The town mouse leads the country mouse to a dinning room.

The table is covered with food. They start to eat up the food. The country mouse is happy. “This food is delicious!” he says. Suddenly, there is a noise. The mice run to hide behind the food. “Keep very still,” says the town mouse. The country mouse is very afraid. A cat comes into the room. He looks around the room. The cat jumps up on the table. “Run!” cries the town mouse. The mice run into a mouse hole. “Good-bye, cousin” says the country mouse. “I am going back to the country. There, it is quiet and safe.”
