A Town Mouse once visited a Country Mouse. For supper the Country Mouse served wheat stalks, roots and nuts, with some cold water for drink.

After supper, the Town Mouse ______ her life in the city while the Country Mouse listened. They then went to bed in a nest in the hedgerow（矮木树篱）and slept quietly and comfortably until morning. In her sleep the Country Mouse dreamed she was a Town Mouse with all the luxuries（奢侈）and ______ of city life that her friend had described for her. So the next day when the Town Mouse asked the Country Mouse to go home with her to the city, she said yes gladly.

When they reached the house where the Town Mouse lived, they found the leavings of a very ______ banquet（宴会）on the table in the dining room. There were sweetmeat, jellies, pastries and delicious cheese, indeed, the most wonderful food that a Mouse can imagine. But just as the Country Mouse wanted to nibble（轻咬）a little of nice pastry, she ______ a Cat mew（发出猫叫声）loudly and scratch at the door. In great fear the Mice rushed to a hiding place. They lay quite still for a long time, hardly daring to breathe. When they ______ came back to the table, the door opened suddenly and the servants came in to clear the table, followed by the House Dog.

The Country Mouse stopped in the Town Mouse’s den（兽穴）only long enough to pick up her carpet bag and umbrella.

“______ you may have luxuries and nice food that I have not,” she said as she hurried away, “I prefer my plain food and simple life in the country with the peace and safety”.
