The Town Mouse and the

Country Mouse
Once upon a time, a town
mouse took a trip to the
countryside, where he met a
country mouse. The country
mouse invited the town mouse
to his humble home for dinner.
They sat down to eat a dinner
of fresh peas and corn. The town mouse tried to be polite, but the
country mouse realised that he didn’t like the country food.
“I’ve tried it, but this food is boring!” the town mouse said. “You
should come and sample the delicious food in town.”
“OK then, I will,” replied the country mouse.
They set off excitedly for the town, scurrying as quickly as they
could.
Soon, they arrived at the town mouse’s
house and headed straight for the cupboard.
Inside, there were jars of jam, chutney, rice,
pasta and much more. The country mouse
was amazed at what they had found.
All of a sudden, the kitchen door swung
open and the cook walked in. Terrified,
the mice jumped out of the cupboard and
raced across to the mouse hole.
Eventually, when the coast was clear, the mice ventured out to
find more food. This time they went to the pantry and found a
jar of prunes to eat.
“I’ve never eaten anything like it!” exclaimed the country mouse.

The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse

“Thank you, town mouse.”


The country mouse was munching
through the prunes when the town
mouse suddenly whispered “Quiet!” The
cat had crept into the kitchen.
The mice tiptoed back to the hole. They
went to the cellar. There was even more
food. There were cheeses, meat, bags of fruit and even more!
The country mouse saw a tasty-looking piece of cheese in the
corner. He ran towards it and was about to eat it.
“Stop!” yelled the town mouse. “It’s a
mousetrap!”
With that, the country mouse grabbed
his things and went on his way. “I think it’s time for me to go,”
he explained. “There are too many shocks here! I’d rather eat my
boring food in peace than eat delicious food whilst surrounded
by danger!”
