Description

Beatrix Potter author of the children's story "The Tale of Johnny Town-Mouse" that had been initially published in 1918. It's based upon a fable by Aesop called "The Town Mouse and the Country mouse." Here's a summary: Timmy Willie is moved to town unintentionally in a vegetable hamper. He is initially scared when he wakes up in'a huge house 'because the unfamiliar surroundings and also the noise of traffic outside are overwhelming. Johnny Town-Mouse, a resident of the house, lives a complete, busy city life with dinner parties along with other community gatherings, which he meets. Johnny tries to teach Timmy Willie about his lifestyle by supplying him with assorted foods and also taking him to meet many town mice. Timmy Willie is overwhelmed due to the noise, pace and type of food offered. He misses the quiet of the countryside and the standard foods like peas and barrow. The strange lifestyle gradually causes Timmy Willie ill. Johnny recognizes his trouble and directs him back to the country. Johnny sees Timmy Willie at his rural house later on. Timmy Willie said the town was overwhelming but Johnny finds the countryside unfamiliar and somewhat frightening. The peace and tranquility aren't completely appreciated or even understood by him, and he is bothered by the rain and predators like the cat and owl. Both mice ultimately discover they're more at home in their original homes. They parted ways, acknowledging their differences in lifestyle and cherishing their own homes more deeply. The tale brilliantly spotlights the thought that what suits one person (or mouse) may not work for another person, and there's no place like home.
