Country Mouse is going on an adventure! He's leaving his quiet countryside to stay with his friend in the Big City. But when Country Mouse looks across the rooftops and sees the green hills of his home, he begins to feel sad.

In a dark, dark wood, there was a dark, dark path... Along the dark, dark path, there was a dark, dark town... As Mouse runs through the moonlit town towards a big, dark house, all around him there are strange shapes and shadows, just waiting to jump out.
