“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.

MORAL: Small acts of kindness will be rewarded greatly.
