Mouse music

One of Æsop's fables (I seem to recall) tells of a mouse-about-town who pays a visit to his cousin, a mouse in the country. The latter's pastoral idyll does not suit our urban rodent, however, who finds the tempo of country dwelling too restrained. He in turn invites his host to experience the vivid vicissitudes of urban living, much to the bumpkin's joy. That is until the pair encounter a predatory pussy, which encourages the newcomer to return to his rural retreat.
Now the moral to this tale has taken on some postmodern hermeneutics, as urban and country have come to mean quite different things. Country is rednecks recounting tales of heartbreak, though I guess urban is still where all the cats are.
