II
After a while they came to the house where the city mouse lived.
Oh! What good things the city mouse set before the country mouse!
She had bread and cheese and cake.
“How good this is!” said the country mouse.
“I wish I lived in the city.”
Just then a man came into the room.
The mice jumped down and ran into a hole.
“Do not be afraid,” said the city mouse.
“The man can not find us.”
By and by the man went away.
Then the mice ran out of the hole and again began to eat.
