A
TOWN MOUSE AND A COUNTRY MOUSE
A Town Mouse and a Country Mouse were
friends. The Country Mouse one day invited his friend to come and see him at
his home in the fields. The Town Mouse came and they sat down to a dinner of
barleycorns and roots the latter of which had a distinctly earthy flavor.
The flavor was not much to the taste
of the guest and presently he broke out with “My poor dear friend, you live
here no better than the ants. Now, you should just see how I fare! My larder
is a regular horn of plenty. You must come and stay with me and I promise you
shall live on the fat of the land.”
So when he returned to town he took
the Country Mouse with him and showed him into a larder containing flour and
oatmeal and figs and honey and dates.
The Country Mouse had never seen
anything like it and sat down to enjoy the luxuries his friend provided. But
before they had well begun, the door of the larder opened and someone came
in. The two Mice scampered off and hid themselves in a narrow and exceedingly
uncomfortable hole. Presently, when all was quiet, they ventured out again.
But someone else came in, and off they scuttled again. This was too much for
the visitor. “Good bye,” said he, “I’m off. You live in the lap of luxury, I
can see, but you are surrounded by dangers whereas at home I can enjoy my
simple dinner of roots and corn in peace.”
TIKUS
KOTA DAN TIKUS PEDESAAN
Tikus desa belum pernah melihat
sesuatu seperti itu dan duduk untuk menikmati kemewahan yang disediakan oleh
temannya. Tapi sebelum mereka mulai untuk bersantap, pintu lemari makan
terbuka dan seseorang datang. Dua Tikus berlarian dan bersembunyi di sebuah
lubang yang sempit dan sangat tidak nyaman.
Dan ketika semua tenang, mereka
memberanikan diri keluar lagi. Tetapi seseorang lain datang lagi, dan mereka
bergegas kembali. Ini terlalu banyak pengunjung. “Good bye,” kata Tikus Desa,
“Aku pergi. Anda tinggal ditempat mewah, saya bisa melihat, tetapi Anda
dikelilingi oleh bahaya dimana-mana, sedangkan di rumah saya bisa menikmati
makan malam sederhana saya akar dan jagung dalam kedamaian.”
