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
repeat it and I shall never forget
your kindness. And who knows, but
I may be able to do you a good
turn one 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.


Sometime later a few hunters
captured the King and tied him to a
tree while they went in search of a
wagon to carry him
on.
Just then the little
Mouse happened to
pass by, and seeing the sad plight
in which the Lion was, ran up to
him and soon gnawed away the
ropes that bound the King of the
Beasts. "Was I not right?" said the
little Mouse, very happy to help the
Lion.
MORAL: Little friends may prove
great friends.
