The Town Mouse and the Country
Mouse
Story retold by Bev Evans
Once upon a time there were two
little mice.
…and the other mouse lived in the
town.
One mouse lived in the countryside……
One day the Country Mouse
invited the Town Mouse to come
and stay.
The Town Mouse thought the
Country Mouse lived in a strange
place!
After a cup of leaf tea, the two mice went for a walk.
They hadn’t gone very far when the Town Mouse heard a frightening noise! But it was only a
cow!
But it was only a goose!
There were lots of noisy things in the countryside! The Town Mouse was
very nervous!
The mice had only walked along a
little further when the Town Mouse
was scared again!
The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse spent the rest of the day
walking.
The Town Mouse was getting use to all the noise when, all of a sudden, an owl flew over the
two mice.
“Run!” shouted the Country Mouse.
The next morning it was time for the
two mice to visit the town.
The Country Mouse thought the Town Mouse lived in a
very strange place!
After a cup of coffee the two
mice went out for a walk.
They hadn’t gone very far when the
Country Mouse heard a very
frightening noise!
But it was only a car!
There were lots of noisy things in the town! The Country
Mouse was very nervous!
The mice had only walked along a
little further when the Country Mouse was scared again!
But it was only a fire engine!
The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse spent the rest of the day
walking.
The Country Mouse was getting use to all the noise when, all of a sudden, a cat ran up to the
two mice.
“Run!” shouted the Town Mouse.
The Country Mouse thought the town
was far scarier than the countryside.
The Town Mouse thought the
countryside was far scarier than the
town.
So they both decided to go home!
And that was where they stayed!
