The Lion and the Mouse
Once when a Lion was asleep a little Mouse began running up and down upon
him. This soon awakened the Lion, who placed his huge paw upon the Mouse and
opened his big jaws to swallow him.
"Pardon, O King," cried the little Mouse, "forgive me this time, I shall never forget
it and I may be able to do you a favor in the future." The Lion was so taken at the idea
of the Mouse being able to help him, that he let him go.

Some time after, the Lion was caught in a trap, and the hunters tied him to a
tree. Just then the little Mouse happened to pass by, and seeing the sad plight of the
Lion, went up to him and soon gnawed away the ropes that bound the King of the
Beasts. "Was I not right?" said the little Mouse.
