Once there were two mice. One lived in a country and the other in a town. One day, the country mouse invited the town mouse to dine with him and served him the best food. But the town mouse said that the food was tasteless and invited the country mouse to his mouse.
At the town’s mouse house, the food was very delicious but all the time, while eating, the two mouse was on the look-out for human-beings and the cats they kept to kill mice.
The country mouse exclaimed, “What a miserable life you lead!” At least in the country, I can eat my meals in peace.
The country mouse thanked the town mouse for his hospitality and went back home.===========

A WITTY REPLY
Rahul was a sharp and intelligent boy. One day, his father got back from his office and called him in a harsh tone. Rahul got frightened and came immediately. He thought, “Dad just arrived from his office. Why is he calling me so harshly? Is he angry with me?”
Father said in a rough tone, “Coincidentally, I met your teacher and she told me that everyday you reach school late. Why?”
Rahul thought for a while and said, “I’m not responsible for anything. They ring the school bell before I reach the school.”
Father praised Rahul for such a witty answer, but asked him to reach the school on time.
