THE LION AND THE MOUSE
When a lion was asleep, a little mouse began running up and down beside him, which made some noise. This soon wakened the lion. Losing his temper, he caught the mouse in his paws and was about to kill it. The mouse, terrified, pleaded to the lion to spare its life.
"Please let me go," it cried, "and one day I will repay you for your kindness." The idea of so small a creature ever being able to do anything for him amused the lion so much that he laughed aloud. He thought, “How could this little mouse help me?” However, he lifted his paws and let it go.
But the mouse's chance came after all. A few days later, when the lion was wandering in the forest, he was caught in a trap.
The hunters wanted to take him alive to the king, so he tied him to a tree, and went away to look for a wagon.
Just then the little mouse passed by, and saw the sad lion. It went up to him and soon gnawed away(啃断) the ropes. “Was I right?” asked the little mouse. This lion nodded his head and thanked the little mouse.
