TASK 2
Read the following text and answer the questions!
One day, a Lion lay asleep in the jungle. A tiny Mouse, running about in the grass and not
noticing where he was going, ran over Lion’s head and down his nose.
The Lion awoke with a loud roar and down came his paw over the little Meuse. The great beast
I was about to open his huge jaws to swallow the tiny creature when “Pardon me, O King, I beg
of you,” cried the frightened Mouse. “If you will only forgive me this time, I shall never forget
your kindness. I meant no harm and I certainly didn’t want to disturb Your Majesty. If you will
spare my life, perhaps I may be able to do you a good turn, too.” The Lion began to laugh, and
he laughed and laughed. “How could a tiny creature like you ever do anything to help me? And
he shook with laughter. “Oh well” he shrugged, looking down at the frightened Mouse, “you’re
not so much of a meal anyway.” He took his paw off the poor little prisoner and the Mouse
quickly scampered away. Some time after this, some hunters, trying to capture the Lion alive
so they could carry him to their king set up rope nets in the jungle. The Lion, who was hunting
for some food, fell into the trap. Her roared and thrashed about trying to free himself but with
every move he made, the ropes bound him tighter
The unhappy Lion feared he could never escape, and he roared pitifully. His thunderous
bellows echoed through the jungle. The tiny Mouse, scurrying about far away, heard Lion’s
roars “That may be there very Lion who once freed me,” he said, remembering his promise.
And he ran to whether he could help.
Discovering the sad state the Lion was in, the Mouse said to him, “Stop, stop! You must not
roar. If you make so much noise, the hunters will come and capture you. I’ll get you out of this
trap.” With his sharp little teeth, the Mouse gnawed at the ropes until they broke. When the
Lion had stepped out of the net and was free once “Thank you, good Mouse,” said the Lion
gently. “You did help me even though I am big and you are so little. I see now that kindness is
always worthwhile.”
