The Lion and the Mouse

A lion, a big cat, was sleeping. A mouse, a small animal, ran over his face. The lion caught the mouse and wanted to kill him. The mouse said he could help the lion one day. The lion laughed but let him go.

Later, men caught the lion. They tied him with rope, a long, strong line. The lion could not get away. The mouse heard him and came. He cut the rope with his teeth. The lion was free.
