Country Mouse and Town Mouse are friends. One day, Country Mouse invited Town Mouse to his house. "It might be a wonderful journey, "thought Town Mouse.
"Welcome! Isn't it troublesome to come such a long way?" Country Mouse welcomed Town Mouse with pleasure. And he spread the table with potatoes, sweet potatoes, peas and corns that he grew with great care. "Oh, what are these? I can't eat this kind of food. How can you eat such tasteless food?" said Town Mouse." Why don't you come with me to my town tomorrow morning? I'll treat you at my house.
So Country Mouse went to the town with Town Mouse. To Country Mouse, the town looked so big. Besides, there was plenty of delicious food on the table. "I really envy you!" said Country Mouse. When Country Mouse was about to eat a delicious drumstick, the door was suddenly opened and a woman came into the room, "Look at these mice! I'll catch you!" The two mice ran into a small hole in the wall as fast as they could. Do you always live like this? I'd rather live in peace." In the end, Country Mouse decided to go home and he didn't envy Town Mouse at all.
