This year we will explore the ancient story of The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse, a fable that has been doing the rounds for at least 25 centuries! A town mouse pays a visit to his country cousins and enjoys the clean air and simple food and, of course, all the country dancing. He misses, however, the sophistication of the city and invites the cousins to stay with him there. They too can sample the delicacies at the dinner table and the latest trends on the dance floor. But which will prove the better environment in which a mouse can thrive?
