The Lion and the Mouse

A Lion lay asleep in the forest, his great head resting on his paws. A timid little
Mouse came upon him unexpectedly, and in her fright and haste to get away, ran
across the Lion’s nose. Roused from his nap, the Lion laid his huge paw angrily on the
tiny creature to kill her.
“Spare me!” begged the poor Mouse. “Please let me go and some day I will surely
repay you.”
The Lion was much amused to think that a Mouse could ever help him. But he was
generous and finally let the Mouse go.
Some days later, while stalking his prey in the forest, the Lion was caught in the toils
of a hunter’s net. Unable to free himself, he filled the forest with his angry roaring. The
Mouse knew the voice and quickly found the Lion struggling in the net. Running to one
 of the great ropes that bound him, she gnawed it until it parted, and soon the Lion was
free.
“You laughed when I said I would repay you,” said the Mouse. “Now you see that
even a Mouse can help a Lion.”
