Una invitación

Un ratón vive en el campo. Su casa es pequeña y está en la tierra. Tiene comida sencilla y vive tranquilo. Otro ratón vive en la corte, la ciudad del rey. Un día invita al ratón del campo a comer en su casa.

El ratón del campo acepta la invitación. Va a la ciudad y entra con su amigo en una despensa. La despensa es un cuarto con comida. Hay queso de Holanda, jamón y muchas otras cosas. Para un ratón, es un lugar enorme.

—Aquí tenemos mucha comida —dice el ratón de la corte. Su amigo mira el queso. Huele muy bien. Los dos empiezan a comer y están contentos.
