One day a lion was sleeping in its cave. A mouse was playing
nearby. While playing, by chance, it ran over the lion’s body. It awoke the
lion. At this the lion grew very angry with the silly mouse. The mouse became
very much frightened. But it did not lose heart. It said to the lion, “O king
of the jungle, I am a very tiny creature. I made a great mistake, please
forgive me this time. I may be of some help to you any time. Even the smallest
creatures can be of great help to the giants.” Hearing this, the lion smiled
and let the mouse go. Days, months and years passed. One night the mouse heard
the roar of a lion.
The mouse went to the place from where the sound was coming. Having reached there, it saw the lion trapped in a hunter’s net. The net was too strong for the lion to tear. The mouse gave its identity and requested him not to make any sound. Then the mouse began to cut the rope with its sharp teeth. The lion was freed before dawn. The lion expressed his gratitude to the mouse.
