The Lion and the Mouse

A lion was sleeping when a mouse ran over his face and woke him up. The angry lion caught the mouse and was about to kill him.

"Please let me live," the mouse begged."If you do, I will find a way to help you in return."

The lion laughed at the idea that a mouse could help him, but he let the mouse go.

Soon after, some hunters caught the lion. They tied him to the ground with strong ropes, so he could not escape.

The mouse heard the lion's loud cry and knew it was him. He came to help and bit through the rope with his teeth, setting the lion free.

"You laughed at the idea that I could ever help you," the mouse said."You did not expect me to return your kindness. Now you know that even a mouse can help a lion."
