Description: An honest, plain, sensible country Mouse is said to have entertained at his hole one day a fine mouse of the town. Having formerly been playfellows together, they were old acquaintance, which served as an apology for the visit. However, as master of the house, he thought himself obliged to do the honours of it in all respects, and to make as great a stranger of his guest as he possibly could.
