The Lion and the Mouse
Once when a Lion was asleep a little Mouse began running up
and down upon him; this soon wakened the Lion, who placed his huge
paw upon him, and opened his big jaws to swallow him.
"Pardon, O King," cried the little Mouse:
"forgive me this time, I shall never forget it:
who knows but what I may be able to do you a turn some of these days?"
The Lion was so tickled at the idea of the Mouse
being able to help him, that he lifted up his paw and let
him go.
Some time after the Lion was caught in a trap,
and the hunters who desired to carry him alive to the King,
tied him to a tree while they went in search of a waggon to carry him on.
Just then the little Mouse happened to pass by,
and seeing the sad plight in which the Lion was,
went up to him and soon gnawed away the ropes
that bound the King of the Beasts.
"Was I not right?"
said the little Mouse.
Little friends may prove great friends.

A small mouse crept up to a sleeping lion. The mouse admired the lion's ears, his long whiskers and his great mane.
"Since he's sleeping," thought the mouse, "he'll never suspect I'm here!"
With that, the little mouse climbed up onto the lion's tail, ran across its back, slid down its leg and jumped off of its paw. The lion awoke and quickly caught the mouse between its claws.
"Please," said the mouse, "let me go and I'll come back and help you someday."
The lion laughed, "You are so small! How could ever help me?"
The lion laughed so hard he had to hold his belly! The mouse jumped to freedom and ran until she was far, far away.
The next day, two hunters came to the jungle. They went to the lion's lair. They set a huge rope snare. When the lion came home that night, he stepped into the trap.
He roared! He wept! But he couldn't pull himself free.
The mouse heard the lion's pitiful roar and came back to help him.
The mouse eyed the trap and noticed the one thick rope that held it together. She began nibbling and nibbling until the rope broke. The lion was able to shake off the other ropes that held him tight. He stood up free again!
The lion turned to the mouse and said, "Dear friend, I was foolish to ridicule you for being small. You helped me by saving my life after all!"

The lion and the mouse
A Lion was lying asleep one day when a little mouse scampered over him, and woke
him up. The lion put out his great big paw and trapped the mouse. He was just going
to kill him when the mouse squeaked.
"I meant you no harm, Lion, please let me go free. If you do I promise I will help you
one day."
"How can a mouse help a lion?" asked the lion scornfully. But he let the mouse go
anyway, and went back to sleep.
A little later the lion was caught in a trap laid by hunters. As he struggled, the ropes
tightened around him and before long he lay on the ground exhausted. He knew that
the hunters would soon come back and kill him.
Suddenly there was a rustling and the little mouse was beside him gnawing at the
ropes. Strand by strand they broke as the mouse's sharp teeth worked away, and long
before the hunters came back the lion was free.
"You never believed I could help you," said the mouse, "but even a mouse can help a
lion, and one good turn deserves another."

One day a Lion lay asleep in the jungle. A tiny Mouse, running about in the grass and not noticing where he was going, ran over the Lion's head and down his nose.
The Lion awoke with a loud roar, and down came his paw over the little Mouse. The great beast was about to open his huge jaws to swallow the tiny creature when "Pardon me, O King, I beg of you," cried the frightened Mouse. "If you will only forgive me this time, I shall never forget your kindness. I meant no harm and I certainly didn't want to disturb Your Majesty. If you will spare my life, perhaps I may be able to do you a good turn, too."
The Lion began to laugh, and he laughed and laughed. "How could a tiny creature like you ever do anything to help me? And he shook with laughter.
"Oh well," he shrugged, looking down at the frightened Mouse, "you're not so much of a meal anyway." He took his paw off the poor little prisoner and the Mouse quickly scampered away.
Some time after this, some hunters, trying to capture the Lion alive so they could carry him to their king, set up rope nets in the jungle. The Lion, who was hunting for some food, fell into the trap. Her roared and thrashed about trying to free himself but with every move he made, the ropes bound him tighter.
The unhappy Lion feared he could never escape, and her roared pitifully. His thunderous bellows echoed through the jungle.The tiny Mouse, scurrying about far away, heard the Lion's roars. "That may be there very Lion who once freed me," he said, remembering his promise. And he ran to see whether he could help.
Discovering the sad state the Lion was in, the Mouse said to him, "Stop, stop! You must not roar. If you make so much noise, the hunters will come and capture you . I'll get you out of this trap."
With his sharp little teeth the Mouse gnawed at the ropes until they broke. When the Lion had stepped out of the net and was free once more, the Mouse said, "Now, was I not right?"
"Thank you, good Mouse," said the Lion gently. "You did help me even though I am big and you are so little. I see now that kindness is always worth while."
Moral of the story: Even the strong sometimes need the friendship of the weak.
