THE LION AND THE MOUSE
A lion was sleeping one day when a little mouse came along and ran
up and down over his face.
This awakened the lion and made him very angry.
He put his paw over the mouse and said, "What do you mean by
waking me? You shall pay for this," and he opened his big mouth to
swallow the mouse.
"Oh, do not kill me, Mr. Lion!" squealed the mouse. "I did not
mean to waken you. Do let me go and I will never trouble you
again."
"No, I will not let you go," roared the lion.
"Please do," cried the frightened mouse. "If you will let me go
perhaps I can do something for you sometime."
This made the lion laugh. "You do something for ME," he said.
"What a joke! Well, you are such a little fellow that I will let
you go this time, but never let me see you about here again," and
he lifted his paw.
As the little mouse scampered off, he said, "Thank you, kind lion,
I shall not forget your kindness."
Some time after this the lion was caught in a trap. The hunters
tied him to a tree while they went to get a wagon to carry him
away.
The lion roared so loud that the ground shook. The little mouse
heard him.
"That lion is in trouble," he said. "I will see what I can do to
help him," and he ran to the lion.
When the mouse saw that the lion was tied with ropes, he said,
"Cheer up, Mr. Lion. Be quiet and I will set you free," and he
began gnawing the ropes.
He worked long and hard and at last the lion was free.
