Background on The Country Mouse and The City Mouse:
This version of the story of the Country Mouse and City Mouse is the end part of a poem written in Latin by the Roman poet Quintus Horatius Flaccus (who is called Horace in English). Horace wrote the poem around the year 30 B.C.E. In his poem he makes a contrast between the annoyances and discomforts of living in a large city like Rome with the peace and happiness he enjoyed on his little farm in the country. Long before Horace was born, people would tell stories like this one, with animal characters that could speak like humans. In English we call these stories “fables.” People of long ago would tell them not only to entertain, but also to make a point or teach a lesson. Horace no doubt included the story at the end of his poem to support his argument that life in the country was better than life in the city.
