TO THE CITY AND SEE ALL THE WONDERFUL FOOD THEY WILL THEN HAVE.
THE COUNTRY MOUSE DECIDED TO GO ALONG WITH THE PLAN. EVERYTHING
WAS WONDERFUL AT FIRST--GOOD FOOD AND PLENTY OF IT. BUT WHEN
THE COUNTRY MOUSE CAUGHT SIGHT OF A CAT--SHE DECIDED TO GO BACK

BEING KILLED BUT COULD ALWAYS EAT PEACEFULLY.
