The Lion and the Mouse
Once upon a time, a mighty lion was sleeping under a big tree. Suddenly, a little mouse ran over his body. The lion woke up, very angry.
“Who dared to disturb my sleep?” he roared. He caught the tiny mouse in his big paw.
“Please, let me go!” squeaked the mouse. “If you spare my life, I will help you one day.”
The lion laughed loudly. “How can a small creature like you help me?” But he was kind-hearted, so he let the mouse go.
A few days later, the lion was trapped in a hunter’s net. He tried to escape but failed. He roared loudly for help.
The little mouse heard his cry and ran to him. The mouse started biting the ropes of the net with his sharp teeth. Soon, the lion was free.
The lion smiled and said, “Thank you, little friend. Now I see that even a small creature can help a great lion.”
