Once upon a time, there were two mice who were close friends. One lived in the countryside, and the other lived in the city. Years later, the country mouse invited the city mouse to visit his home in the country. The city mouse remarked, "The food here is not good, and your house is quite simple. Why live in a hole in the field? You should move to the city, where you can live in a beautiful stone house and enjoy fine delicacies. You must visit my home in the city."
The country mouse visited the city mouse's house. It was a magnificent house, with a feast prepared for them. However, just as they were about to eat, a loud noise suddenly rang out. The city mouse cried, "Run! Run! The cat is coming!" and they quickly fled and hid.
After a while, they emerged from hiding. The country mouse said, "I do not like living in the city. I prefer my cozy hole in the field. For it is better to be poor and happy than to be rich and live in constant fear."
从前有两只老鼠，它们是好朋友。一只住在农村，另一只住在城市。多年后，乡下老鼠邀请城里老鼠去他的乡村寓所做客。城里老鼠去了之后说：“这里的食物真不好吃，你的房子也太简陋了。为什么要住在田里的洞穴里呢？你应该搬到城市来，住在漂亮的石造房子里，享受美味的食物。你一定要来城里的家看看。”
乡下老鼠来到了城里老鼠的家。那是一个非常华丽的房子，桌上摆满了美食。但就在他们准备开饭时，突然传来一阵巨大的响声。城里老鼠惊叫道：“快跑！快跑！猫来了！”于是他们迅速逃跑并躲了起来。
过了一会儿，他们走出来。乡下老鼠感叹道：“我不喜欢住在城市里。我还是喜欢住在田里的洞穴里。因为贫穷而快乐，也比富有却生活在恐惧之中要好得多。”
"How much we possess is not important; what matters is whether we are content."
"Excessive desire is the source of suffering; contentment is one's greatest wealth."
"Seeking knowledge without contentment leads to progress; living with contentment brings happiness."
"When we desire nothing we possess everything"
"Greed is the truest form of poverty, while contentment is the truest form of wealth."
