00:00Join Kids Heart Family!
00:19Congratulations, Tia!
00:23I heard our librarian Miss Peters has asked you to help her
00:27in the library after school every day
00:30instead of just the weekend?
00:35And I hear you will get paid for it also!
00:39Thanks, Tofu!
00:41But I have politely declined her generous offer.
00:46Why, Tia?
00:48Think of all the money you will get!
00:54You won't have to rely upon the pocket money
00:57that mom and dad give you.
01:00You can buy so many things with so much money, Tia!
01:05Yes, that's true, Tofu.
01:08But if I spend so much time at the library daily
01:12I won't have time to study or spend with you.
01:17Nobody makes a decision like that, Tia.
01:22Well, maybe I am like the country mouse.
01:26What did the country mouse do?
01:30Let me tell you.
01:46Once, a town mouse visited his cousin
01:50a country mouse for lunch.
01:52Welcome, cousin!
01:54It is so good to see you!
02:01They enjoyed a simple meal of fresh corn
02:05wheat stalk and refreshing cold water.
02:12After that, the mice sat for hours
02:15and told each other stories from their childhood.
02:18When it was night time
02:20they slept under the starry sky
02:23and were awakened by the gentle warmth of the morning sun.
02:30They continued talking over breakfast
02:33till it was time for the town mouse to leave.
02:37Cousin, thank you for the lovely time.
02:40Why the long walk?
02:42I am so tired.
02:44I am going to sleep now.
02:45Cousin, thank you for the lovely time.
02:49Why don't you come with me and spend time in the town with me?
02:55The country mouse was so impressed
02:59with the stories she had heard of the life in the town
03:03that she readily agreed
03:08and left with her cousin.
03:10By the time they reached the town mouse's house in the town
03:16it was afternoon
03:18and they were both very hungry.
03:23The country mouse smelled lovely aroma of the food left over
03:28in the dining room where humans had just finished their lunch.
03:35The hungry country mouse
03:38dashed towards it
03:40immediately when the town mouse called out.
03:44Cousin, watch out for the cat!
03:48Meow!
03:55The country mouse curried back to the hole in the wall
03:59where the town mouse's house was.
04:03Once the cat was gone
04:06the country mouse tried to make its way to the food again.
04:13No! No!
04:15Wait for the servants and the house dog!
04:21The country mouse once again rushed back into the hole in the wall
04:26as it saw a parade of servants followed by the house dog
04:31The country mouse picked up his hat and bag.
04:37Cousin, I am very happy for your cosy, luxurious town life.
04:44But I am happy in my humble country life
04:47where there may be simple food
04:49but at least I can enjoy it.
04:51I am very happy.
04:53Thank you, Cousin.
04:55Thank you, Cousin.
04:57Thank you, Cousin.
04:59But at least I can enjoy it
05:01at my will and with security.
05:08And so the country mouse returned to her home
05:12no longer feeling envious of her cousin.
05:19So you see, Tofu
05:21Miss Peters might be offering me money
05:24but I am happy with my life the way it is.
05:29Oh, Tia! You are the best!
05:32You always know the right thing to do.
