happening for quite sometime. The cows were frightened.

One day, all the cows held a meeting. An old cow said, “Listen everybody, the lion eats one of us only
because we go into the jungle separately. From now on we will all be together”.

From then on all the cows went into the jungle in a herd. When they heard or saw the lion all of them

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.

A mouse was having a very thought time. She had no food for many days and made

strenuous efforts get her food. All her efforts went in vain. She looked everywhere to

find her food. As the days pass by, she became very thin.

One day, the mouse found a basket with corns. She also noticed a tiny hole in the

basket, which was sufficient enough to move her in. She easily moved inside the

hole.

Since she had no foods for many days, she ate a large amount of corn. Without

realizing her, she continuously ate more and more corns. She realized very later that

she ate a lot more than she actually required. After eating a whole lot of corn, she

became very fat!

Satisfied with corns, the fat mouse tried to come out of the basket through the small

hole. Unfortunately, the tiny hole could not accommodate the big mouse!!!!

The mouse started screaming ‘Oh god! Let me come out, how can I come out?’

A rat after hearing mouse’s screaming voice from the basket, asked her what

happened!

Mouse told the story and asked rat a solution.

Rat told, ‘if you want to come out the basket, wait for sometime or even days to lose

your all your fat until you grow thin.’

Mouse started to starve now but with lots of food to come out of the trap!
