One day an elephant wandered into a forest in search of friends. He saw a monkey on a tree. “Will you be my friend?” asked the elephant. Replied the monkey, “You are too big. Anda tinggal ditempat mewah, saya bisa melihat, tetapi Anda dikelilingi oleh bahaya dimana-mana, sedangkan di rumah saya bisa menikmati makan malam sederhana saya akar dan jagung dalam kedamaian.” Tetapi seseorang lain datang lagi, dan mereka bergegas kembali. Tikus Kota datang dan mereka duduk untuk makan malam dari jagung dan akar yang kedua nya memiliki rasa khas bersahaja.ĭan ketika semua tenang, mereka memberanikan diri keluar lagi. Tikus desa suatu hari mengajak temannya untuk datang dan menemuinya di rumahnya yang beradi di ladang. Tikus kota dan Tikus pedesaan berteman dengan baik. You live in the lap of luxury, I can see, but you are surrounded by dangers whereas at home I can enjoy my simple dinner of roots and corn in peace.” Tikus Kota dan Tikus Pedesaan But some one else came in, and off they scuttled again.

Presently, when all was quiet, they ventured out again. The two Mice scampered off and hid themselves in a narrow and exceedingly uncomfortable hole. But before they had well begun, the door of the larder opened and some one came in. The Country Mouse had never seen anything like it and sat down to enjoy the luxuries his friend provided.

So when he returned to town he took the Country Mouse with him and showed him into a larder containing flour and oatmeal and figs and honey and dates. You must come and stay with me and I promise you shall live on the fat of the land.”

Now, you should just see how I fare! My larder is a regular horn of plenty. The flavour was not much to the taste of the guest and presently he broke out with “My poor dear friend, you live here no better than the ants. The Town Mouse came and they sat down to a dinner of barleycorns and roots the latter of which had a distinctly earthy flavour. The Country Mouse one day invited his friend to come and see him at his home in the fields. A Town Mouse and a Country Mouse were friends.
