One day a country mouse invited his friend, a town mouse to visit him.

For their meal, he brought out lots of his favourite foods. There were
seeds, corn and tasty nuts.

Is this all you eat? asked the town mouse. You must come and
visit me to see the good food I have. The country mouse agreed
to go to his friends house.

When they arrived in town, they found it very noisy. The mice had
to be careful so that people did not step on them. A carriage
nearly ran over them!
Soon they came to a fancy big house. The country mouse
followed his friend through a hole in the wall. Inside the house, the
town mouse showed his friend how to climb up onto the table.

The table was filled with different foods. There were loaves of bread,
wedges of cheese, cakes, and delicious fruits. Just as they began to
eat, they heard someone opening the door to the room.

At last, when they were alone in the room again, the town mouse said,
Now lets go get some of that food! No, thank you! said the country
mouse. Im going home!
The two mice quickly ran down from the table and hid under a cupboard.
Then they saw a cat sneaking into the room! The two frightened mice
kept very still in a hole.
