[I REALLY NEED HELP ON THIS, I'M STUCK ON IT! I NEED EXPLAINTION TOO, TO UNDERSTADN THE QUESTION, I'LL MARK YOU BRAINLIEST, PLUS A THANK YOU!] I will mark as Brainliest answer, thanks and friend if you help me with this, thank you!

A City Mouse and a Country Mouse were acquaintances (friends), and the Country Mouse one day invited his friend to come and see him at his home in the fields. The City Mouse came, and they sat down to a dinner of roots. The fare was not much to the taste of the guest, and presently he broke out with "My poor dear friend, you live here no better than the ants. Now, you should just see how I fare (live)! You must come and stay with me, and I promise you, you shall live on the fat of the land." So when he returned to the city he took the Country Mouse with him, and showed him into a pantry containing flour and oatmeal and figs and honey and dates. The Country Mouse had never seen anything like it, and sat down to enjoy the luxuries his friend provided: but before they had well begun, the door of the larder opened and someone came in. The two Mice scampered off and hid themselves in a narrow and exceedingly uncomfortable hole. Presently, when all was quiet, they ventured out again; but someone else came in, and off they scuttled again. This was too much for the visitor. "Good-bye," said he, "I'm off. You live in the lap of luxury, I can see, but you are surrounded by dangers; whereas at home I can enjoy my simple dinner of roots and corn in peace."

1. Recall the first step in the process to determine theme. In three to four sentences, summarize at least three events that happened in the fable.
2. Recall the second step in the process to determine theme. In two to three sentences, explain why these events happened in the fable.
3. Recall the final step in the process to determine theme—use the events that happened in the fable and why they happened to infer the theme. Writing in complete sentences, identify the theme.

The question is asking to list the events that happened during the story, to determine the theme.

1. The country mouse invited his friend, city mouse, over to his simple home in the fields. When city mouse arrives, he sees how his friend is living and says that country mouse should live with him in a home "on the fat land." The country mouse goes with city mouse to check out his "fabulous home." Country mouse notices all the luxuries the place had to offer, but they constantly were "surrounded by dangers," so he decided to stay safe in a simple home, than in danger in a luxurious home.

2. These events happened because of city mouse persuading country mouse to come to his luxurious home. While they were there, it turns out that the home wasn't as great as was, regarding the dangers and consequences that came with it.

3. The first event describes how people can be so quick to judge people for they have. The second event shows that even though people have nice things, it doesn't always mean that they are living in luxury. The last event shows that we should be grateful for what we have in our lives, and not spend it wishing for things that we want.

Hope this helps!!

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
