    Once upon a time, there was a little mouse.
    He lived in the country.
    2
    One day, his city friend came to visit.
    “Welcome,” said the country mouse.
    “Glad to be here,” said the city mouse.
    3
    The two mice had a great time. They played
    tag. They climbed trees. They took long
    hikes. All of this made them very hungry.
    4
    So they went into the fields and began to
    nibble some corn and beans. But after a
    while, the city mouse wrinkled up his nose.
    5
    “This food is so boring. In the city, I eat the
    finest meat, cheese, and pie. Do you want
    to go there with me?” asked the city mouse.
    The country mouse licked his lips.
    “Oh, yes!” he said.
    6
    The next day, the two mice jumped on
    a train and went to the city.
    7
    They walked to a tall building and took an
    elevator to the tippy top. This was where
    the city mouse lived.
    8
    The home was fit for a king! It was big and
    very fancy.
    “Welcome,” said the city mouse.
    “Glad to be here,” said the country mouse.
    9
    The two mice had a great time. They
    listened to music. They played games.
    They ran from room to room. All of this
    made them very hungry.
    10
    So they went into the dining room. There
    stood a table filled with meat and cheese
    and a whole cherry pie!
    11
    “Mmmm!” said the city mouse.
    “Mmmm!” said the country mouse.
    But just as they started to nibble the food . . .
    12
    . . . in came a cat! In came a dog! In came
    a person!
    “Run for your life!” said the city mouse.
    13
    Quick as a wink, the mice jumped off the
    table and ran into a little hole. The country
    mouse had never been so scared.
    “I’m going back home,” he said.
    14
    “Do you really want to leave all this fine
    food?” asked the city mouse.
    “The city is nice, but corn and safety are
    better than cherry pie and danger,” said
    the country mouse.
    The two mice hugged good-bye.
    15
    Then the country mouse jumped on a train
    and went back to the country.
    “No matter where I roam, there is no place
    like home,” he said.
