Alright, all those who have never heard the story of the town mouse and the country mouse, please raise your hand. Anyone?? Because today I'm going to tell you my version of the story of the country mouse and the town mouse.

*******

In a quiet and serene countryside, there is this lush green meadow filled with yellow dandelions. And in this meadow, there is a small mouse hole in which a country mouse resides within it. The country mouse although frequently moves about the meadow, has never in its entire life ever travelled beyond the boundaries of the countryside. Life was pretty good for this cute little mouse. You can even say it's a little too dull.

This day, another mouse suddenly appeared in the meadow of the country mouse. And my, this mouse looked different. It not only dressed differently, it spoke differently too. There is a slight aristocratic accent to its voice and its gestures are often wide and exaggerative. Now this newcomer introduced itself as the town mouse to the country mouse. It's on a journey to see the world it says and it's already about to embark on the journey home.

The country mouse got very excited and even agitated by the town mouse's unannounced and sudden visit. It wanted to go and see the world too. Therefore, the country mouse asked the town mouse to bring it along to town. Of course, the town mouse agreed. It's never a bad thing to gain a companion when one's travelling.

Soon the two mice were sightseeing in each other's company. When they arrived at the home of the town mice - town, the country mouse was in awe. He saw the big humans, the big cats and dogs and smelled the difference of town life.
