A Mouse was living under the granary. In the floor of the granary there
was a little hole, and the grain fell down through it. The Mouse had an
easy life of it, but she wanted to brag of her ease: she gnawed a larger
hole in the floor, and invited other mice.
"Come to a feast with me," said she; "there will be plenty to eat for
everybody."
When she brought the mice, she saw there was no hole. The peasant had
noticed the big hole in the floor, and had stopped it up.
