Lion and the Mouse

One day a lion was sleeping in the forest. A little mouse was looking
for something to eat. She ran over his paw.

The lion opened his eyes. He roared at the mouse. He put his paw
over her. “I will eat you,” he cried.

“I did not know it was you,” said the mouse. “Please let me go.
Someday I will help you.”

“Foolish mouse!” said the lion. “What can a little thing like you do? I
am strong. How could you ever help me?

The lion laughed, but let the mouse go. He did not think the little
mouse could ever help him.

Soon after this the lion was running in the forest. He ran into a trap.
The trap was a net made of rope.
The lion tried to break the net, but the rope was strong. The mouse
saw the lion in the net, she said, “I will help you.” It was hard to chew
the strong rope. The mouse bit and chewed for a long time.

At last she chewed the rope enough so that the lion could break the
net.

“You have saved my life. Thank you,” roared the lion, as he walked
away into the forest.

“A little mouse can help after all,” said the mouse.
