A mouse in the city invited to tea a fellow who lived in the countryside, and being together in the well-stocked pantry of a palace, said the peasant house mouse:
- My friend, eat what they like and not care, that the supplies are varied and plentiful.
They had already begun to taste the best food, when suddenly and noisily, the cook opened the pantry. Mice, frightened, fled each to his own, and as the house knew every corner was once safe, while the stranger he failed to find any hiding place.
The departure of the chef, the guests went out again, and the peasant, speaking, asked the citizens:
- Is this common danger? ...
- Yes, replied the other, this happens very often, and therefore should not be careful.
- Ala! - Said the farmer -.With this happening every day! It is true that you live in opulence, but still, I prefer my poverty from the countryside to the anxiety they inhabit.
Moral: Well Peter is in Rome, but do not eat, better a modest life in peace and tranquility that the luxury world's dangers and concerns.
