一只老鼠居住在乡村，另一只住在城里。
很多年以后，乡下老鼠碰到城里老鼠，它说：“你一定要来我乡下的家看看。

乡下老鼠领着它到了一块田地上它自己的家里。
它把所有最精美食物都找出来给城里老鼠。
城里老鼠说：“这东西不好吃，你的家也不好，你为什么住在田野的地洞里呢?你应该搬到城里去住，你能住上用石头造的漂亮房子，还会吃上美味佳肴，你应该到我城里的家看看。
” 乡下老鼠就到城里老鼠的家去。
房子十分漂亮，好吃的东西也为他们摆好了。
可是正当他们要开始吃的时候，听见很大的一阵响声，城里的老鼠叫喊起来：“快跑!快跑!猫来了!”他们飞快地跑开躲藏起来。
过了一会儿，他们出来了。
当他们出来时，乡下老鼠说：“我不喜欢住在城里，我喜欢住在田野我的洞里。
