| Once a field mouse invited his friend |
| the house mouse to dine. |
| Not satisfied with the meal of barley and |
| wheat, the house mouse said to the field |
| mouse, "There are so many good things to |
| eat where I live! Come visit me." So the two |
| of them went to the house mouse's house, |
| where they found vegetables, fruits, dates, |
| honey and cheese. The field mouse |
| began to think that the house |
| mouse's life was really much better than his |
| own. But each time they began to eat, |
| a man would suddenly open the door |
| and the poor mice would have to jump into a |
| crack in the floor. Finally, the field mouse, |
| who was good and hungry by this time, said, |
| "Friend, stay here and eat to your heart's content-- |
| if you don't mind all the trouble and the danger. |
| I'll stick to my wheat and barley, as long as |
| I can live in peace and quiet." |
