This is a very interesting fable of Aesop. In every fable of Aesop, there must a lesson for us. We consider that as the moral of the story at the end.
The town mouse rather turned up his long nose at this country travel, and said: "I cannot understand, cousin, how you can put up with such poor food as this, but of course you cannot expect anything better in the country; come you with me and I will show you how to live.”
"My poor cousin," said the town mouse again to the country mouse, "you hardly have anything to eat! I do believe that an ant could eat better! Please do come to the town and visit me, and I will show you such rich feasts, readily available for the taking."

The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse
A country mouse invited his cousin who lived in the town to come visit him. The town mouse was so disappointed with the sparse meal which was nothing more than a few kernels of corn and a couple of dried berries.
