The City Mouse And The Country Mouse

There was a city mouse. She went to visit her friend in the country. City Mouse had never been to the country before. The grass was green, and the air smelled fresh. “ I think I will like the country, " she thought.

Country Mouse served a fine meal. She thought the food was delicious. But City Mouse did not agree. “ Country food is different from city food, ” said City Mouse. “ Come visit me in the city. You will love city food. "

" I will visit you soon, ” said Country Mouse. “ But now it is late. Let me show you your bed in the barn. ” Country Mouse had made her friend a bed in the hay, right next to her own. Country Mouse thought the hay was warm and cozy.

But City Mouse did not agree. “ This feels like pins and needles! ” she thought. “ How can anyone sleep in hay?” “ Come visit me in the city, ” said City Mouse. “ You will love city beds. ”

" I will visit you soon, ” said Country Mouse. Then she yawned and fell asleep. City Mouse could not sleep at all. The hay poked her and pinched her all night long. In the morning, City Mouse said good-bye and happily went back to the city.
