Abstract
Here is a later version of a booklet already included in the collection as part of the "Magic Wagon" series of "Short Tales" published in 2010. This later version acknowledges a 2008 copyright by Abdo Consulting Group. The front cover, title-page, and colophon-page have changed, but interiorly these 32-page TMCM booklets seem identical. The mice's clothing on the cover suggests the difference between country and town life. Further, the town mouse is brown, and the country mouse gray. In the country, the two sit on thimbles and eat off the top of an overturned Earl Grey tea box. A portion of that illustration is here used also as the cover image. What is left on the table in town are remnants of dessert. In rush two dogs. Once in the clear, the country mouse is on his way. "Better beans and bacon in peace than cakes in fear." The announced moral is "Better a little in safety, than much surrounded by danger."
