"The Mice Cousins Creamy and Troy"
Please read the passage:
Once upon a time, there were two mice cousins. Troy, lived in the town and therefore was a town mouse.
The other one, Creamy, lived in the country making him a country mouse. The town mouse Troy was a very superior mouse, who thought that living in the town was far better than living in the country.
So one day, he invited his country cousin Creamy to stay with him in his town house and experience the civilized lifestyle of the town. They sat down to a meal, which to the country mouse was a feast.
“Goodness me”, he said. “If I was in the country, I would be having only simple bread and cheese in the quietness of my peaceful home.” Suddenly, there was a loud noise at the door.
“Don’t worry,” said the town mouse, “that’s just my neighbour - the dog, he wants to join us for dinner.” The country mouse ate a little faster. Another noise was heard outside, even louder this time.
“Oh dear”, said the town mouse, “the cat who lives facing my house wants to join us too.” Quickly eating the last of his meal, the country mouse Creamy said, “thank you, but I think I will return to the peacefulness and quietness of my own house after all!”
Then he ran back home as fast as his legs could carry him.
