從前,有兩只老鼠,它們是好朋友。一只老鼠居住在鄉(xiāng)村,另一只住在城里。很多年以后,鄉(xiāng)下老鼠與城里老鼠碰面了,它們之間會發(fā)生怎樣的故事呢?一起和小編來看一下吧。
Once there were two mice. They were friends. One mouse lived in the country; the other mouse lived in the city. After many years the Country mouse saw the City mouse; he said, "Do come and see me at my house in the country." So the City mouse went. The City mouse said, "This food is not good, and your house is not good. Why do you live in a hole in the field? You should come and live in the city. You would live in a nice house made of stone. You would have nice food to eat. You must come and see me at my house in the city." The Country mouse went to the house of the City mouse. It was a very good house. Nice food was set ready for them to eat. But just as they began to eat they heard a great noise. The City mouse cried, " Run! Run! The cat is coming!" They ran away quickly and hid. After some time they came out. When they came out, the Country mouse said, "I do not like living in the city. I like living in my hole in the field. For it is nicer to be poor and happy, than to be rich and afraid."
故事讀完了,鄉(xiāng)下老鼠雖然居住條件差,沒有可口的食物,但它過的安逸而愉快:城里老鼠住著漂亮的房子,享用著美味的食物,但卻時刻面臨著生命危險。如果是你,你會選擇哪種生活呢?
