• The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse

Peace

Once upon a time, a Country Mouse invited her cousin, the Town Mouse, to visit her small and cozy home in the countryside. The Town Mouse happily accepted, and they had a wonderful time together, even though the Country Mouse lived a simple life. They enjoyed their days in peace and quiet.

Before the Town Mouse left to go back to the city, she asked the Country Mouse to come with her. She talked about how exciting and luxurious life in the town was. The Country Mouse became very curious and wanted to see it all for herself, so she agreed to go.

When they arrived at the Town Mouse's home, it was just as she had described—there was plenty of delicious food and lots of fun to be had. But there were also many dangers that the Country Mouse didn’t know about. While they were eating, a big cat tried to catch them! They barely escaped, and then a barking dog scared them even more.

The Country Mouse was very frightened and quickly decided to go back to her peaceful home in the countryside. She said, “I’d rather live with less, but be safe and happy. What’s the point of having lots of food if there are so many dangers?”

And so, the Country Mouse returned home, glad to be back where she could live quietly and safely. She learned that it's better to live simply and peacefully than to have luxury and be in constant danger.
