THE LION AND THE MOUSE

A long, long time ago a little mouse
was playing and messing around. He
was making a lot of noise and all of a
sudden he woke up the lion, the king
of the animals.
 What do you think will the lion
do?

“How dare you wake me up?” the lion

roared, "I'm going to eat you all up!”
And with that he placed his big paw
upon the mouse’s tiny body, so that
the poor frightened little mouse
couldn’t move.
 What do you think, did the lion
ate the mouse?
 If you were the mouse what
will you do to please the lion?

“Please, forgive me, oh, King of the

animals! I didn’t mean to wake you up.
I was just playing! If you let me go
now, maybe I can help you one day!”
the mouse squeaked This made the
lion roar with laughter. “You? Help me?
Ha ha ha. You are so small; how could
you help me?!" And with that he
changed his mind, "Alright, I will let
you go, because you would be such a
tiny morsel anyway!”
 What do you think can a little
mouse help to the lion?
 What do you think will happen
next in the story?
A few months later the lion was
walking around, taking care of his
majestic duties, when he got caught
in a trap.
He struggled to get free, but the
more he tried to free himself, the more
he got tangled in the net.
 Can the lion get free form the
trap? How?
 Who do you think will help the
 lion?
Luckily, the same little mouse was
passing by and saw what had
happened. The king of the animals was
in trouble!
Happy to finally be able to help the
lion, the mouse rushed to his aid and
started gnawing through the ropes.
 Did the king get free form the
trap?
 Who helped the lion?

“I didn’t believe you would be able to

help me, but I was wrong," said the
lion, when he was set free by the little
mouse.
 Do you think the lion and the
mouse became good friends?
From that day on, the lion and the
mouse became good friends.
 If you were the mouse, will you
help the lion? Why?
 What are the things we can do
to help our neighbors in
trouble? Can you give some
examples?
