The Lion and the Mouse
Once upon a time, there lived a lion who ruled the forest. One day after eating his meal, the felt asleep under a tree.
A Little mouse saw him and thought it would be fun to play on him. He began running up and down the sleeping lion. He ran up the tail and slid down the tail.
The lion woke up angrily with a loud roar. He grabbed the mouse with his huge paw. The mouse struggled but could not escape. The lion opened his big jaws to swallow him. The mouse was very scared. Oh king, I am very scared. Please don’t eat me. Forgive me this time. Please let me go. I will never forget it and may be one day I can help you.
The lion was so amused by the idea of the mouse being able to help him, that he lifted dawn his paw and let him go. Thank you king, I will never forget your kindness. You are lucky my friend that I just eaten. Now go out don’t mess with me again. Or in will make a meal of you.
Few day later, the lion roaming the jungle. Hunter set a trap to catch the lion. The hunters hid behind the tree, waiting for the lion to approach the trap. As he did, the hunter pulled the roped and caught him in net.
The lion started to roar loudly and tried to escape but hunters fastened the net. The went back to the village to bring a cart to transport the lion. The lion was still roaring loudly.
All the animals including the mouse heard the roar. The king is in trouble. I must return the favour. He soon reached the lion. Don’t worry, my king. I will set you free. He climbed up the trap and used with sharp little teeth to bite through the rope.
Finally he freed the lion from the trap. The lion realised the even a little mouse can be a great help. Thank you mouse. I will never trouble you again. Live happily in my forest. You saved the king’s life. Now your are the prince of the forest. Thank you king. Bye….. see you soon….
Where are you going? Don’t you want to play on me and slide down my tail? Asked lion. The mouse started jumping on his back and sliding down his tail.
After a while, the hunters came back with a big cart to carry the lion. The lion and mouse saw them and started running towards them. The lion gave a big roar. The hunter were terrified and ran away back to the village.
Now lion and mouse became friends forever.
