The Lion and The Mouse - English Short Stories for Kids

There lived a lion in a forest bush. Near the bush lived a mouse in a
hole. It was a hot day and the lion was taking rest after a long hunt.

The playful mouse came out of his hole and started climbing up and
down the lion. The running of the mouse tickled the lion and he woke
up.

He caught the mouse and said. “You silly fool! You disturbed my sleep. I
am going to kill you”.

The mouse looked at the lion and plea in his face and replied humbly.
“Oh king of the forest! Please do have mercy on this small creature! I
have committed a mistake. If you excuse and pardon me I will surely
repay you in future”.

The lion was astonished by the bravery of the mouse and he let the
mouse free.

Days Passed. Once, when the lion went for a hunt he got trapped in a
net. He started roaring.
The mouse heard the roaring and thought, “The lion must have been
trapped, I should help him”. He ran to the net and started gnawing.

Soon, the net gave away and the lion got free.

They became good friends.
