Mouse.

‘‘Run! It is the cat,’’ said the City Mouse.

‘‘Let us not go to the kitchen again,’’ he said. ‘‘Don’t worry. We will

go to the cellar next time,’’ said the City Mouse.

There was a big can of

cheese. ‘‘Yummy!’’ said the

mice.

about to put his teeth into

the cheese when the City

Mouse shouted, ‘‘Stop! It

is a trap!’’

The little Country Mouse

asked, ‘‘What is a trap?’’

‘‘That thing is a trap,’’ said

the City Mouse. When you

touch the cheese, the door

will close, and you will be

caught.’’
