The lion and the mouse
A lion was asleep in the forest
one day. A little mouse came
out to play. The little mouse ran
up the lion’s neck and slid
down his back. The lion caught
him with a great big smack!
‘I’m going to eat you!’ The lion
roared; his mouth opens wide.
‘No, no, please don’t!’ the little
mouse cried. ‘Be kind to me
and one day I’ll help you.’ ‘I’m
a lion! You’re a mouse! What
can you do?’ The lion laughed
very hard, and the mouse ran
away. But the mouse was out
walking the very next day. He
heard a big roar and squeaked
when he saw the king of the
jungle tied to a tree. But the
mouse had a plan to set him
free. The mouse worked quickly
and chewed through the rope.
The lion said, ‘Oh little mouse,
I had no hope. You were right,
little mouse – thank you, I’m
free. You’re the best friend
there ever could be!’
