The is the folk tale story of the Town Mouse visiting his friend the Country Mouse.  The Town Mouse invited the Country to go the visit with him at His Majesty’s Court.  When they got there the country mouse was delighted at the fine food that they had before them to eat,  but he was very alarmed by the barking of the court dog.  The country mouse decided that the Majesty’s Court was not a very good place to be and went home to his “plain food and … peaceful cottage.”

Some of the words are hard for the kids to understand but they understand the story.  This is a wonderful story for all to hear.
