The lion and the mouse

Once when a lion, the king of the jungle, was asleep, a little mouse began running up and
down on him. This soon awakened the lion, who placed his huge paw on the mouse, and
opened his big jaws to swallow him.
“Pardon, O King!” cried the little Mouse, “Forgive me this time. I shall never repeat it and I
shall never forget your kindness. And who knows, I may be able to do you a good turn one of
these days!”
The Lion was so tickled by the idea of the mouse being able to help him that he lifted his
paw and let him go.
Sometime later, a few hunters captured the lion, and tied him to a tree. After that they went
in search of a wagon, to take him to the zoo.
Just then the little mouse happened to pass by. On seeing the lion’s plight, he ran up to him
and gnawed away the ropes that bound him, the king of the jungle.
“Was I not right?” said the little mouse, very happy to help the lion.

and did not want to leave his wife, Malin let go of his mother's arms harshly until he fell.
Mande Rubayah was very surprised, at the same time saddened to see her son's behavior,
while Malin just left and Mande Rubayah could only be silent not expecting. His hands then
stretched out into the sky and cried miserably. "O Almighty God, if he is indeed not my son
then I forgive his actions. But if he is indeed my son, I ask for your justice.."
God apparently agreed to grant the prayers of Mande Rubayah, the weather in the middle of
the sea that was once sunny now turned to dark, a terrible storm and destroyed the ship so it
crashed to the shore.
When the morning sun, the storm had subsided. Visible pieces of ships scattered on the
beach, everything changes into stone. Among all the pieces, there was a human figure who
was prostrating. That said, that's the body of Malin Kundang the ungodly child.
