BR 2-02: The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse

Which do you prefer, the town or the country?

This is a story of the mouse Pipin who lives in the country and his cousin Toby who lives in the town. Pipin was lying in the grass, eating fruits and nuts, and enjoying a leisured life. Then, Toby visited to stay his house. But, Toby who adjusts to life in the town didn't feel comfortable there. Then, Pipin went to stay Toby’s house. He was overcome by the atmosphere of the town but Toby happily said "Home, sweet home." Toby’s house was so large. They had a good feed, but were found and chased by the cat. Next morning, Pipin leave there and went home. He happily said “Home, sweet home!” and snuggled down in his warm hay bed.

When I had finished read, I thought “There’s no place like home.”
