Now, this country mouse had a very dear cousin who lived in a nearby town, and one day she invited him for a cup of tea and a stroll in the fields. She knew every twist and turn and could, she thought, probably even run the whole path with her eyes closed and not fall down. She was so fast that she could cross the field in the blink of an eye. How could anyone live somewhere else? Digging in the dirt and running through vast wheat fields were her favourite activities. To her it was the most beautiful place in the whole wide world. She had lived in a field since forever, and moving somewhere else was something she couldn't imagine.
1.Once upon a time, there was a small mouse.Now answer these comprehension questions: "Better beans and bread in peace than cakes and tarts in fear." "Good-bye, Cousin," said the country mouse. The two mice had to scamper down from the table and run off.
"I do not like to hear that sound at my dinner table.” Just at that moment the door flew open, and in came two huge mastiffs. "It is only the dogs of the house," answered the other. Suddenly, they heard growling and barking. There they found the remains of a feast, and soon the two mice were eating up tarts and cakes and all that was nice. "You will want some refreshments after our long journey," said the polite town mouse and took his friend into a grand dining room. No sooner said than done, the two mice set off for town and arrived at the town mouse's residence. When you have been in town a week, you will wonder how you could ever have stood your simple country life." Come with me and I will show you how to really live. "I cannot understand, Cousin, how you can put up with such poor food as this, but of course you cannot expect anything better in the country. The town mouse, being used to gourmet cuisine, turned up his nose at this country fare. Beans, cheese, and bread were all the country mouse had to offer, but he offered them freely. This country mouse was down-to-earth, and he loved his cousin and made him welcome. Once upon a time a town mouse went to visit his cousin in the country.
