The Lion and the Mouse

A little mouse once made the mistake of running across a sleeping lion's nose. It tickled like
crazy and woke the lion up. With one sweep of his huge paw, the lion snatched up the mouse! He
opnened his mouth wide and prepared to eat the mouse.

"Oh no, please don't eat me!" shrieked the mouse. "I'd be just a tiny snack, not fit for the king of
the beast. If only you will spare my life, I promise that I will help you if you are in trouble."

A little mouse, helping the big king of beasts? That struck the lion as terribly funny. He roared
with laughter, opening his jaw and letting this funny little mouse go free.

Several years passed. The mouse was busy gathering seeds when he heard a terrible roar. It was
so loud and so powerful that it could only be the king of beasts. What's more, the lion sounded
really scared. The mouse scurried in the direction of the lion's frightened roars.

When the mouse found the lion, he saw that the lion had fallen into a hunter's trap. He was all
tangled up in thick rope. The mouse began to gnaw through one of the ropes with his sharp little
teeth. It took a while, but eventually he broke all the ropes and the lion was free.

"I kept my promise!" said the mouse to the lion. "I knew I might be able to help you out
sometimes."

Moral of the story: Even the smallest friends can do big favors.
