Narrator: Once upon a time, in a cozy countryside and a bustling town, there lived two cousins - Town Mouse and Country Mouse. Town Mouse, accustomed to city life, decided to visit his cousin in the countryside.
(Town Mouse enters the stage)
Town Mouse: (excited) Hello, dear Country Mouse! I've come for a visit to experience your simple country life.
Country Mouse: (welcoming) Welcome, cousin! I may not have the luxuries of the town, but we have fresh air and delicious food.
Narrator: The cousins sat down for a meal of grains and fresh vegetables when suddenly a farmer appeared.
(Farmer enters)
Farmer: (speaking to the mice) Ah, look what we have here! Dinner!
Narrator: Startled, the mice scurried away and hid. Once the danger passed, they resumed their meal.
(Town Mouse looking dissatisfied)
Town Mouse: (complaining) This food is bland and simple. I miss the tasty treats of the town.
Country Mouse: (smiling) It may not be fancy, but it's wholesome and safe.
Narrator: Feeling unsatisfied, Town Mouse convinced Country Mouse to visit the town with promises of grand feasts.
(Country Mouse and Town Mouse exit to the town)
