The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse
Aesop
A Mouse living in the countryside, invited his cousin who lived in a big town to spend some
time in her modest home. She agreed and they spent a great time together, despite the modest
conditions they lived in. Nothing ever seemed to trouble their peace and harmony. Before
returning to her home, the Town Mouse asked the Country Mouse to come with her. As the Town
Mouse described the city life full of surprises and luxury, her cousin was very curious to see all
that herself, so she said „Yes". They traveled together to the Town Mouse's house and everything
was indeed as described with lots of food and fun. But, at the same time, many dangers that the
Country Mouse wasn't made aware of. A cat tried to catch them while they were eating, then a
dog barked at them. They traveled together to the Town Mouse's house and everything was
indeed as described with lots of food and fun. But, at the same time, many dangers that the
Country Mouse wasn't made aware of. A cat tried to catch them while they were eating, then a
dog barked at them, so the Country Mouse decided immediately to return home and never come
back.
"I'd rather live in poverty, but in peace. What's the use of having plenty of food and lots of
dangers, too?, she said happy to be back home.
