城里鼠和乡下鼠

       

Once there were two mice. They were friends. One mouse lived in the country and the other lived in the city. One day, the two met. The Country Mouse invited the City Mouse to visit his home. He said, “Do come and see me at my house in the country.”

  The City Mouse went to the country. The Country Mouse led the City Mouse to his house in the field and offered the City Mouse his best food. The City Mouse said, “The food is not good, and your house is not good. Why do you live in a hole in the field? You should come and live in the city. You can live in a nice house made of stone. You can have nice food to eat. You must come and see me at my house in the city.”

  The Country Mouse went to the house of the City Mouse. It was a very good house. Nice food was set ready for them to eat. But just as they began to eat, they heard a loud noise. The City Mouse cried, “Run! Run! The cat is coming!” They ran away quickly and hid safely.

  The Country Mouse said, “I do not like living in the city. I like living in my hole in the field. It is nicer to be poor but happy than to be rich but afraid.”
