My Dad taught it to me in the fifties. I think it was passed on from his Mother or father. I wonder if anyone recognises it - it's the version I know but I think I may have forgotten some... Two little mice made a hole in a cheese They lived there some time, as long as you please. (something about top most shelf) A little old woman came in to the town, She wanted some cheese, so the man took it down. 'O me, oh my, how light it doth feel', Said the little old man, whose name was John Peel. He cut it in two with a very sharp knife, And the two little mice ran away for their life. Pussy soon saw them, you know the rest..... except I don't, because my Dad never said the proper ending. Not wanting to upset us - although we understood the likely outcome well enough -he used to finish: She took out her knitting and made them a vest! I would be so pleased to know if anyone else remembers this and if they have a more complete version. I’ve been trying to find the following poem online. My Dad taught it to me in the fifties.

Two little mice made a hole in a cheese
They lived there some time, as long as you please.
(something about top most shelf)
A little old woman came in to the town,
She wanted some cheese, so the man took it down.
‘O me, oh my, how light it doth feel’,
Said the little old man, whose name was John Peel.
He cut it in two with a very sharp knife,
And the two little mice ran away for their life.
Pussy soon saw them, you know the rest…..

except I don’t, because my Dad never said the proper ending. Not wanting to upset us – although we understood the likely outcome well enough -he used to finish:
She took out her knitting and made them a vest!

I would be so pleased to know if anyone else remembers this and if they have a more complete version.

It seems it must be the Mouse and the Cake but I don't remember much about it apart from flopping over at the end when the mouse dies. The joys of the internet.Thank you.

The point of the question is that The City Mouse sacrifices his peace to please his palate. Is that a wise choice? It depends what you believe. Why, both the country and the city have advantages.
