Country Mouse and Town Mouse are friends. One day Country Mouse invites Town Mouse to his house.
"Welcome! Wasn't it troublesome to come such a long way?"
Country Mouse welcomes Town Mouse with pleasure.
And he spread the table with sweet potatoes, peas and corns he grow with great care.
乡下老鼠和城里老鼠是朋友。一天，乡下老鼠邀请城里老鼠去他家做客。
“欢迎来玩。这么远让你过来没觉得烦吧？”
乡下老鼠愉快地欢迎城里老鼠，他的桌上铺满了自己用心种出的食物，包括香甜的土豆，豌豆还有玉米。

"There is not much to eat but enjoy the meal."
"Oh? What are these? I can't eat this kind of food. How can you eat such tasteless food?"
"Well...Is that so?"
“就只有这些了，没什么特别的，别客气，多吃点。”
“哦。这都是些什么东西啊？我不会吃这些的。你怎么能吃下这么无味的食物呢？”
“啊？好吧。。。真是这样么？”

"Also, look at your house. How can you live in such a shabby place?"
"Yes...But I am used to this place. I feel very comfortable here."
"Well,well~! You've never seen a big town before, have you? Well, why don't you come with me to my town tomorrow morning? I'll treat you to delicious food at my house."
“再看看你这房子。哎呀，你怎么能住在这么破的地方呢？”
“是这样的。。。可是我已经习惯了这里了，我觉得住在这儿挺舒服的。”
“好吧，好吧~！你之前没去过城市吧？行，明早跟我去城里兜兜吧。我领你去我家，给你尝尝真正美味的食物。”

So Country Mouse followed Town Mouse to the town. To Country Mouse, the Town looks so big.
Country Mouse is amazed by the grand view of the town.
Then there were plenty of mouth-watering, delicious food on the table.
于是乡下老鼠跟着城里老鼠进了城。对乡下老鼠来说，城市实在是太大了！（有刘姥姥进大观园的感觉吧~）
乡下老鼠为城市的景色所震惊了。
桌子上摆满了令人垂涎的，美味的食物。

"Wow! It looks great!"
"Hahaha~! I eat this kind of food every day. Well, You must be hungry. Help Yourself."
"I really envy you!"
“哇，这个看起来好棒！”
“哈哈哈，我天天都吃这些呢。好啦，估计你也饿了吧，随便吃！”
“我真是要嫉妒你了！”

The moment when Country Mouse was about to eat a delicious chicken leg, the door suddenly opened and a woman came into the room.
"Look at these mice~! If I catch you, you've dead."
就当乡下老鼠要吃一块美味的鸡腿时，门突然开了，一个女人进了屋子。
“看看这些讨厌的老鼠~！要是被我抓到，你们就死定了！”

She shouted and threw a lid of a pot at them.
"Oh, God save us,please!"
"Ah~ah~"
Town Mouse and Country Mouse ran away as fast as they could.
"Let's hide somewhere quickly. Hurry up!"
"Ye...yeah~! Ah ah~~!"
Town Mouse and Country Mouse ran into a small hole in the wall.
她怒吼着，扔过去一个锅盖。
“噢，神呐，救救我，救救我！”
“啊~啊~”
城里老鼠和乡下老鼠都使出了吃奶的劲拼命逃着。
“我们快找个地方躲起来，快点！”
“好。。。哦！啊啊~~！”
两只老鼠跑进了墙里的一个小洞。

"Well, what's going on? Do you always live like this?"
"Umm...Well, it happens sometimes. We have to go through such things to live and eat delicious food in a big town."
“好吧，这是怎么回事？你就这么过日子？”
“额。。。哎呀，这些也只是偶尔才发生啊。要在大城市里生存，要吃到美味的食物，肯定要经历这些嘛。”

"Is delicious food that important? I'd rather live in peace. I am so scared. I could be killed anytime. I will go back to my peaceful house although it is humble and shabby."
"Alright. I am so sorry to put you in such danger."
"That's okay. Please take care of yourself."
"Good Bye."
“美味食物就那么重要么？我还是喜欢我平静的生活。噢，吓死我了。我随时可能被杀死。我要回去我的房子，尽管它简陋，尽管它破旧，至少那里自由自在。”
“好吧，我很抱歉给你带来这样的危险。”
“没关系。你自己在这里要小心啊。”
“拜拜。”

In the end, Country Mouse decided to go back to his peaceful home.
He no longer envied Town Mouse for all that he had and all that he feared.
最终，乡村老鼠还是决定回到他安宁的小屋。城里老鼠所拥有的实在太危险，他害怕，他再也不会嫉妒城里老鼠了。
