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.
