I think that while the over arching message of the Two Mice fable is
good morality there is more to be explored. While reading this not only was I focused
on the characters story but their environment as well. Another message that can
be pulled from this is distinction from city and farm life the two mice come
from and the life they experienced while in the others home. There was freedom
in the rural lands with no fees to pay and no places of limits like in the
city. However, in the rural area the city mouse found none of her delicacies
and scorned her sister for it even though she was content. When they returned
to the city the older sister explained that there was no fear of cats or poison
to her younger sister. However, there was still fear instilled with the younger
sister and she returned to the fields where she was happy. This brings to light
the comforts of living in nature and its benefits of the mouse who would not
return to the city.
