BR-02: The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse (Davidson, 2007)

"Pipin!" (Davidson, 2007, p. 8).

There was a little brown country mouse. His name was Pipin. He lived in a house in a hedge alone.
 

In spring, he lay in the grass and listened to the birds sing. It was made him relax. In summer, he nibbled on wild strawberries and cut grass for his winter bed.
 

One day, he heard a Tap! Tap! Tap! on his door. It was his cousin Toby. They walked around, and had dinner together in Pipin’s house. That night, Pipin went to his food store, and picked out his best nuts and berries. “In town, we can eat more food!” said Toby. Then, they went to the town in the morning.

There were a lot of people and many buildings, so Pipin was surprised. They came into a building, and played toys. They found a dining room, and they eat food very much. Then, a cat appeared in frontof them. They run, and into a hole. Pipin was very scared by the cat, so he wanted to turn back his house.

The next day, Pipin went back to his house alone. “This was the life for me.” thought Pipin.
