A Town Mouse and a Country Mouse

Once there were two mice. One lived in a country and the other in a town. One day, the country mouse invited the town mouse to dine with him and served him the best food. But the town mouse said that the food was tasteless and invited the country mouse to his mouse.

At the town’s mouse house, the food was very delicious but all the time, while eating, the two mouse was on the look-out for human-beings and the cats they kept to kill mice.

The country mouse exclaimed, “What a miserable life you lead!” At least in the country, I can eat my meals in peace.

The country mouse thanked the town mouse for his hospitality and went back home.
