The City Mouse and the Country Mouse A Fable & Reader’s Theatre Script Adapted by Lisa Blau Narrator #1 and City Mouse Narrator #2 and Country Mouse Narrator #1: One day the city mouse went to visit her cousin who lived in the country. Narrator #2: The country mouse was very happy to see her cousin. She set out a few  crumbs of bread and a tiny piece of cheese. Narrator #1: Then the country mouse said… Country Mouse: Welcome, cousin! Come and eat some of my tasty food. City Mouse: This is not wh
at I would call tasty food. Why, in the city I eat  cakes, pies, and fancy goodies all day long. Narrator #2: The city mouse  told the country mouse. Narrator #1: Then the city mouse said... City Mouse: Why don’t you come to the city with me and see what you have been missing. Narrator #2: So the country mouse followed her cousin back to the city. Narrator #1: The two mice climbed on top of a table piled high with all kinds of fancy foods. Narrator #2: There were cakes, pies, and cookies. Countr
y Mouse: Oh, my! How I have wasted my time  in the country. I like the city. This is great! Narrator #1: The country mouse told her cousin. Narrator #2: Just then the doors to the dining room opened and a huge cat ran  right toward the two little mice. City Mouse: Hurry! Run! Run! It’s the cat! Narrator #1: The city mouse called out to her cousin. Narrator #2: The two mice ran to the nearest hiding place. Narrator #1: As soon as the cat went away the country mouse said... Country Mouse: Good-bye
, cousin. You’re welcome to your city life. It is not for  me. I will be happy with my simple country life. Your life may be fancy, but it’s just not safe. Narrator #2: And so the country mouse ran all the way home and never again returned to the city. All: And today’s fable has this moral: Country Mouse: A simple life lived in peace  is better than a life of luxury lived in fear.
