Reflection - The Lion and The Mouse
Reflection - The Lion and The Mouse
Once upon a time, a Lion was asleep while a little Mouse began
running up and down upon him. This soon awakened the Lion, who
placed his huge paw upon the mouse, and opened his big jaws to
swallow him.
Some time later, the Lion was caught in a trap by hunters who
wanted to carry him - alive - as a gift to their King. They tied the
powerful lion to a tree while they went in search of a wagon in which
to carry him. Try as he might, the lion could not set himself free.
Just then, the little Mouse happened to pass by. Seeing the sad plight
in which the Lion found himself, the mouse ran to the tree and soon
gnawed away the ropes that bound the King of the Beasts.
