The City Mouse and the Country Mouse

an Aesop Fable

A country mouse invited his cousin who lived in the city to


come visit him. The city mouse was so disappointed with the sparse
meal which was nothing more than a few kernels of corn and a
couple of dried berries.

"My poor cousin," said the city mouse, "you hardly have anything
to eat! I do believe that an ant could eat better! Please do come to
the city and visit me, and I will show you such rich feasts, readily
available for the taking."

So the country mouse left with his city cousin who brought him to
a splendid feast in the city's alley. The country mouse could not
believe his eyes. He had never seen so much food in one place. There
was bread, cheese, fruit, cereals, and grains of all sorts scattered
about in a warm cozy portion of the alley.

The two mice settled down to eat their wonderful dinner, but
before they barely took their first bites, a cat approached their
dining area. The two mice scampered away and hid in a small
uncomfortable hole until the cat left. Finally, it was quiet, and the
unwelcome visitor went to prowl somewhere else. The two mice
ventured out of the hole and resumed their abundant feast. Before
they could get a proper taste in their mouth, another visitor intruded
on their dinner, and the two little mice had to scuttle away quickly.

"Goodbye," said the country mouse, "You do, indeed, live in a


plentiful city, but I am going home where I can enjoy my dinner in
peace."
