Country Mouse:
Do you eat like this every day?
Town Mouse:
Yes, I eat like this every day. This
house has a lot of food.
Country Mouse:
Give me some cheese please.
Mmm. It is delicious.
There is a noise from offstage. It is the sound of a
dog.
Country Mouse:
What was that noise?
Town Mouse:
Oh, it’s only a dog.
Country Mouse:
Only a dog? You have dogs in this
house?
Town Mouse:
Yes, but it’s OK. Have another cookie.
Country Mouse:
But dogs are a danger to mice.
Town Mouse:
It’s OK. They won’t . . . .
The two dogs enter.
