TITLE: The Town Mouse and The Country Mouse

Once upon a time a town mouse came two visit his friend , a country mouse. The country mouse did everything to entertain and please his friend coming from the town but his friend –the town mouse was clearly not satisfied . However he invited his friend- the country mouse to the town  Two them immediately set off for the town. On the way the pound town mouse said to his friend , “ I cannot understand , friend ,how you can put up with such poor food that you offered me. But I must thank you after all, because you have given me an opportunity to show you how to live . I am sure when you have been in town a week, you will wonder how you could ever have stood a country life. “

The poor country mouse was really sad at heart. The word of his friend pierced his heart. But he had hardly any answer to what he had pointed out. After all , he failed to offer to his town friend enough of the kind of food befitting for a visiting guest.  So in a feeble voice he said.” I am sorry friend. I am sure you understand  the difference in terms of facilities and amenities of life between a town life and a country life . But I think you must have appreciated one thing . You see , I have taken you every were you wanted two with nobody two disturb us. This some how compensates the lack of food facilities in our country life.”

“No,” said the town mouse, “ what you are saying is not at all convincing . But never mind, after all you are my friend. I cannot blame you that much for the inadequate amenities you live in. I just want to show you how I live.”

However, the two mice arrived at the town mouse’s residence late at night. The town mouse took his friend straight into the grand dining room. There they found the remains of a feast and soon the two mice began eating up jellies and cakes and all that was nice. Suddenly they heard growling and barking.

What is that? “ said the country .” It is only the dog of the house, answers  the other .”Only” said the country mouse,” I do not like the music at my dinner ! “ just at that moment the door flew open in came two huge mastiffs and the two mice had to scamper down and run off. Good-bye, friend . said the country mouse . What going soon? Said the town mouse . Yes the country mouse replied,  I have already seen and experienced what an awful life you lead .You have no freedom here. Good food cannot bee a compensation for freedom . continued the country mouse . Please remember , he said to his friend who turned up his long nose at him while visiting his house,” Better beans and bacon in peace  than cakes and jellies in fear".
