'Thank goodness!' thought Country Mouse, who was struggling to keep up. 'Nearly there!' yelled Town Mouse above the din. There were huge machines moving faster than any mouse could run. There Country Mouse saw things he had never seen before and heard things he had never heard before. They set off straight away and soon reached the edge of the town. The next morning the two little mice woke up early and Town Mouse offered to show Country Mouse her home. Don’t worry!' said Country Mouse sleepily. 'It’s just the cows coming in to be milked. Country Mouse didn’t move but Town Mouse felt afraid.

'Moo! Moo!' it went, and the barn began to shake. Suddenly, Town Mouse woke up to a strange sound getting louder and louder. Country Mouse felt very comfortable but Town Mouse couldn’t help but miss the comfort of her fine home and she went to sleep dreaming of a belly full of food. Town Mouse was grateful and ate what she could find but this was not the sort of feast she had in mind.Īfter they had eaten they lay down on the soft hay that filled the barn. Country Mouse began to gather what he could and ate a little of this and a little of that, washing it all down with a few slurps of water from a puddle in the corner. When they arrived at Country Mouse’s hay barn, they went in through a tiny hole by the back door. 'Great! Catch me if you can!' called Country Mouse and off he ran. 'Would you like to come to my house for something to eat?' asked Country Mouse. 'I live in that clock tower,' said Town Mouse.īoth mice looked past each other towards the home of their new friend. 'I live in a little hay barn just over there. Country Mouse jumped while Town Mouse dodged. Town mouse scurried while Country Mouse skipped. Later that day both mice decided it was time to head to the fields to play. 'I wonder what it’s like living there?' thought Town Mouse as she finished off a delicious piece of cheese. She could see the trees and the lush, green grass. Meanwhile, Town Mouse was sat admiring the view from that very clock tower. 'I wonder what life is like there?' thought Country Mouse.

In the distance he could see a town and rising up in to the sky was a clock tower. One warm and sunny morning, Country Mouse looked out over the peaceful, green fields and wondered what lay beyond them.
