- Abstract
- en_US Grey Mouse came to visit Mousy in the country. Grey's dissatisfaction began when he found that Mousy's home stinks and when he stepped in some poo. Grey extended his invitation and drove Mousy in his car to town. There was a party going on in Grey's house and people were drinking in the lounge. There were so many kinds of food and even many kinds of cheese! Then a human being entered. "Grey dived down, flat on his belly. Mousy hid behind a jelly." They had a narrow escape, only to be soon confronted by a cat. Grey distracted the cat by tossing her a sausage after the cat had captured Mousy. A guard dog distracted Grey's effort to keep Mousy in the city. "She missed quiet meadows, hedges, trees . . . The stink of sheep poo on the breeze! Aesop's moral now seems clear: Better poor in peace than rich in fear!" Rhyming couplets throughout. 48 pages. 5¼" x 8". Rhyming couplets throughout. 48 pages. 5¼" x 8".
