The Lion and the Mouse

It was a hot day, and a lion lay fast asleep in the forest. Sunddely, a little mouse ran up to his nose. The lion woke up suddenly and caught the mouse in his paw.

“Please let me go,” begged the frightened mouse.

“All right,” said the lion. “But don’t distrub me again.” Then he let the little mouse free.

“Thank you,” the mouse said. “I never forget your kindness. I might even pay you back one day.”

The lion only laughed. “How can a tiny mouse help me?” he thought. He rolled over and went back to sleep.

Some time later, the lion was caught in a net. He roared loudly. Deep in the forest, the little mouse heard him.

“The lion is in trouble,” he said. “I Must go and help him.” The mouse soon found the lion. He began to bite the ropes of the net. His sharp teeth soon made a big hole in the net, Allowing the lion to escape from the net.

“Thank you for saving my life, little mouse,” said the king of the beasts. He rather embarrassed.
