Once when a lion, the king of the jungle, was asleep, a little
mouse began running up and down on him. This soon
awakened the lion, who placed his huge paw on the mouse,
and opened his big jaws to swallow him.
"Pardon, O King!" cried the little mouse. "Forgive me this
time. I shall never repeat it and I shall never forget your
kindness. And who knows, I may be able to do you a good
turn one of these days!”
The lion was so tickled by the idea of the mouse being able to
help him that he lifted his paw and let him go.
Sometime later, a few hunters captured the lion, and tied him
to a tree. After that they went in search of a wagon, to take
him to the zoo.
then the little mouse happened to pass by. On seeing the
lion’s plight, he ran up to him and gnawed away the ropes
that bound him, the king of the jungle.
"Was I not right?" said the little mouse, very happy to help
the lion.
