The Mouse and
the Lion
Once a little mouse was running up
and down near a sleeping lion. The mouse woke him up. The lion put his huge paw
above the mouse and opened his giant mouth.
Just then the mouse said “Oh, please, forgive me, Oh, King of the Beasts! Maybe
I will be able you help you one of these days.” The lion laughed and let him go.
It wasn’t long until the lion was caught in a trap by hunters. The hunters tied
him to a tree and went to find a wagon to carry him. It was then that the
little mouse happened to pass by. He went over to the lion and chewed away the
ropes and said “Was I not right?” Little friends may prove great friends
