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 hadnt 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 hadnt 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!
