THE CITY MOUSE AND THE GARDEN MOUSE.
Reading edition
The city mouse lives in a house; The garden mouse lives in a bower; He’s friendly with the frogs and toads, And sees the pretty plants in flower. The city mouse eats bread and cheese; The garden mouse eats what he can; We will not grudge him seeds and stalks, Poor little timid, furry man. Christiana G. Rossetti.
