X GRADE CLASS : ……………………………………… “FABLE AS NARRATIVE”
One day, a Lion lay asleep in the jungle. A tiny Mouse, running about in the grass and not noticing
where he was going, ran over Lion’s head and down his nose.
The Lion awoke with a loud roar and down came his paw over the little Mouse. The great beast I was
about to open his huge jaws to swallow the tiny creature when “Pardon me, O King, I beg of you,”
cried the frightened Mouse. “If you will only forgive me this time, I shall never forget your kindness. 1
meant no harm and I certainly didn’t want to disturb Your Majesty. If you will spare my life, perhaps I
may be able to do you a good turn, too.” The Lion began to laugh, and he laughed and laughed. “How
could a tiny creature like you ever do anything to help me? And he shook with laughter. “Oh well” he
shrugged, looking down at the frightened Mouse, “you’re not so much of a meal anyway.” He took his
paw off the poor little prisoner and the Mouse quickly scampered away. Some time after this, some
hunters, trying to capture the Lion alive so they could carry him to their king set up rope nets in the
jungle. The Lion, who was hunting for some food, fell into the trap. Her roared and thrashed about
trying to free himself but with every move he made, the ropes bound him tighter
The unhappy Lion feared he could never escape, and he roared pitifully. His thunderous bellows
echoed through the jungle. The tiny Mouse, scurrying about far away, heard Lion’s roars “That may be
there very Lion who once freed me,” he said, remembering his promise. And he ran to whether he
could help.
Discovering the sad state the Lion was in, the Mouse said to him, “Stop, stop! You must not roar. If you
make so much noise, the hunters will come and capture you. I’ll get you out of this trap.” With his
sharp little teeth, the Mouse gnawed at the ropes until they broke. When the Lion had stepped out of
the net and was free once “Thank you, good Mouse,” said the Lion gently. “You did help me even
though I am big and you are so little. I see now that kindness is always worthwhile.”
