There was once a Mouse that lived
on a farm. He always had enough to eat and lots of room to run around. Life was
easy.
However, the Mouse was bored.
Every day, he would sit by the
fence to take a peek at the outside world. He would gaze at mole hills and
imagine them to be mountains.
`I wonder what it would be like to
travel the world,’ the Mouse thought. ‘I could ride the seas in big ships like
an explorer!’
“It’s too risky,” warned his
friend, the Pig.
“You know nothing about the world,”
said the Sheep.
But the Mouse decided to
explore the world. He said good-bye to his friends and home.
After many days of travelling, the
Mouse reached a beach.
`What a wonderful place!’ thought
the Mouse. ‘I can smell the sea!’
Then, he saw an Oyster that the
tide had washed on to the beach. The Mouse had never seen an Oyster before.
`This must be the ship that
explorers travel on!’ thought the Mouse.
The Mouse put his head inside the
Oyster’s shell. The Oyster, at once, closed its shell and killed the
foolish Mouse.
Little knowledge can be harmful.
