Once upon a time, a village mouse named Rud decided to visit his cousin Krut in the city. Rud was very excited because he had never been to the city before. He packed some cheese and set off on his journey. When Rud arrived, Krut was waiting for him at the train station. They hugged each other and Krut said, 'Welcome to the city, Rud!'

A Visit to the City

Rud the village mouse looking up in amazement at tall city buildings.

Krut took Rud to see the tall buildings in the city. Rud was amazed because he had never seen such tall structures before. 'These buildings touch the sky!' exclaimed Rud. Krut laughed and said, 'Yes, they are very tall, but you will get used to them.' They continued their tour, and Rud couldn't stop looking up in wonder.

Discovering Tall Buildings

Next, Krut showed Rud the busy streets filled with people and cars. Rud was a bit scared because the streets were so noisy and crowded. 'How do you live with all this noise?' asked Rud. Krut replied, 'You get used to it, and it's never boring here.' They carefully crossed the street and went to a nearby park to rest.

The Busy Streets

After a fun day, it was time for Rud to return to the village. Krut gave Rud a big hug and said, 'Come back soon, cousin!' Rud smiled and replied, 'I will, and thank you for showing me the city.' As Rud boarded the train, he felt happy and grateful for the adventure. He knew he would always remember his exciting visit to the city.
