Yes, it can. Mice are very good climbers. They can use various things like pipes, vines or rough surfaces on the exterior of a building to reach the second story.
Maybe. Mice are quite agile and can squeeze through small spaces. If the second story has exterior openings that aren't properly protected or if there's a connection to the lower floors that's not secured, a mouse could get in. However, a well-built and protected structure can prevent this.
We can learn that different places have different advantages and disadvantages. Just like the town mouse's simple but safe life and the city mouse's exciting yet dangerous life.
Well, the town mouse enjoys a more laid - back life. There are not so many distractions or threats in the town. It has a small community perhaps. In contrast, the city mouse has a lot more excitement and variety in terms of food sources. But it has to be constantly on guard because of the high population density in the city. There are more predators like cats in the city, while in the town the threats are fewer. The town mouse might have a more predictable daily routine compared to the city mouse which has to adapt to the fast - paced city life.
Sure, fleas can make it to a second story apartment. They are very mobile and can be transported easily. For example, if someone walks in with fleas on their shoes or if a pet has been in contact with an infested area, the fleas can come along and start a problem upstairs too.
Well, the country mouse is used to a natural and peaceful setting. His home might be a simple hole in the ground. The city mouse has a fancier place to stay, perhaps in a big house or near a store of food. But the city mouse has to be constantly on guard because of all the threats in the city, while the country mouse has a more relaxed life with less excitement and danger.
The story is about a town mouse who visits a country mouse and they both experience each other's lifestyles. Eventually, the country mouse decides the town life isn't for him.
The city mouse lives in a more crowded and noisy place. It has access to more 'human - made' foods like cheese from the pantry. The country mouse lives in a quieter, more natural setting and eats things like grains and seeds it finds in the fields.
