Bell-Horses, Bell-Horses.
Bell-Horses, bell-horses,
What time of day?
One o’clock, two o’clock,
Off and away.
THE FIELD MOUSE AND THE TOWN MOUSE.
A Field Mouse had a friend who lived in a house in town. Now the Town Mouse was asked by the Field Mouse to dine with him, and out he went and sat down to a meal of corn and wheat.
“Do you know, my friend,” said he, “that you live a mere ant’s life out here? Why, I have all kinds of things at home; come and enjoy them.”
So the two set off for town, and there the Town Mouse showed his beans and meal, his dates, too; his cheese and fruit and honey. And as the Field Mouse ate, drank, and was merry, he thought how rich his friend was and how poor he was.
