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.
