The Lion and the Mouse
One day, a lion is sleeping. A mouse runs over the lion's nose and the lion
wakes up. The lion is angry. The mouse is scared. I'm very sorry, says the mouse.
"Don't eat me! I can help you one day.
The lion laughs. “That's funny! it says. You are little! How can you help me?
The lion is no longer angry, so the mouse runs away.
One year later, the lion is walking in the jungle. A big net falls over the lion.
The lion opens its mouth and roars. The mouse hears the lion, and it runs to help.
"Don't move," says the mouse. "I can help you."
The mouse chews the net and makes a big hole. The lion is free, "Thank you,"
says the lion. You are little, but you are kind."
