The City Mouse and the Country Mouse

　　Once there were two mice. They were friends. One mouse lived in the country; the other mouse lived in the city. After many years the Country mouse saw the City mouse; he said, "Do come and see me at my house in the country." So the City mouse went. The City mouse said, "This food is not good, and your house is not good. Why do you live in a hole in the field? You should come and live in the city. You would live in a nice house made of stone. You would have nice food to eat. You must come and see me at my house in the city."

　　The Country mouse went to the house of the City mouse. It was a very good house. Nice food was set ready for them to eat. But just as they began to eat they heard a great noise. The City mouse cried, " Run! Run! The cat is coming!" They ran away quickly and hid.

　　After some time they came out. When they came out, the Country mouse said, "I do not like living in the city. I like living in my hole in the field. For it is nicer to be poor and happy, than to be rich and afraid."

　　城里老鼠和鄉(xiāng)下老鼠

　　從前，有兩只老鼠，它們是好朋友。一只老鼠居住在鄉(xiāng)村，另一只住在城里。很多年以后，鄉(xiāng)下老鼠碰到城里老鼠，它說：“你一定要來我鄉(xiāng)下的家看看。”于是，城里老鼠就去了。鄉(xiāng)下老鼠領(lǐng)著它到了一塊田地上它自己的家里。它把所有最精美食物都找出來給城里老鼠。城里老鼠說：“這東西不好吃，你的家也不好，你為什么住在田野的地洞里呢？你應(yīng)該搬到城里去住，你能住上用石頭造的漂亮房子，還會(huì)吃上美味佳肴，你應(yīng)該到我城里的家看看。”

　　鄉(xiāng)下老鼠就到城里老鼠的家去。房子十分漂亮，好吃的東西也為他們擺好了�？墒钦�當(dāng)他們要開始吃的時(shí)候，聽見很大的一陣響聲，城里的老鼠叫喊起來：“快跑！快跑！貓來了！”他們飛快地跑開躲藏起來。

　　過了一會(huì)兒，他們出來了。當(dāng)他們出來時(shí)，鄉(xiāng)下老鼠說：“我不喜歡住在城里，我喜歡住在田野我的洞里。因?yàn)檫@樣雖然貧窮但是快樂自在，比起雖然富有卻要過著提心吊膽的生活來說，要好些。”
