A Lion and a Mouse
Once there lived a lion in a jungle. One day, the lion was sleeping in his cave. A mouse was playing nearby. ……………………… At one stage, the mouse jumped on the body of the lion. The lion woke up. The lion became seriously annoyed at the mouse. He caught the mouse and attempted to kill it. The lion roared and said that he would kill the mouse.
The mouse became frightened. The mouse started crying to save his life. The small mouse was seeking an apology and requesting to be forgiven. The tiny mouse was telling again and again that he was really sorry for his misdeed. The mouse also said that if the lion let him go, he would help the lion if needed.
The king of the jungle laughed at the commitment of the mouse. The lion said, “You are a tiny creature. I am the king of the jungle. How will you help me?” The mouse said, “I don’t know. But if I get an opportunity to repay your kindness and generosity, I will surely avail that opportunity.”
The jungle king was laughing, hearing the words of the mouse. Nevertheless, out of pity, the lion set the mouse free. The mouse became happy and thanked the lion.
One sunny day, it was about noon. The mouse heard the roar of the lion. The mouse could realize that the lion was in danger. He instantly rushed to the spot. Reaching the spot, the mouse saw that the lion was trapped in a net. It was a net of the illegal animal hunter. The king of the jungle was trying heart and soul to get rid of the net, but could not. Without wasting a single moment, the mouse started cutting the net with its sharp teeth. Within a couple of minutes, the mouse could set the lion free by cutting the net.
Being free, the lion thanked the mouse. The lion could realize that even a small creature can help a big animal like a lion. The lion expressed his gratitude to the mouse again and again. The mouse replied that this was nothing but a little attempt for a friend. Since then, they have been good friends.
Moral of the story:
a. Help may come even from the smallest of your friends.

Story of the Lion and the Mouse
Long ago, it was a sunny midday in a deep forest. A lion was sleeping under a large leafy tree by the side of a small river. A young mouse was running here and there just beside the lion. The mouse did not see the sleeping lion. If the mouse saw the lion, it would not play there. All of a sudden, losing balance, the mouse fell onto the lion’s face. As a result, the lion woke up. The lion expressed his annoyance by roaring.
Hearing the terrifying roar of the lion, the mouse was trembling with fear. It said, ‘’Please forgive me, Sir. I had no intention of disturbing you. If you let me go. I may help you someday.’’
The lion laughed and said, ‘’You are so small! How can you help me?’’ Though the lion was the mighty king of the jungle, he was kind-hearted. So, he let the mouse go.
A few days after this incident, the lion was caught in a strong net by an illegal wildlife trafficker. He made an all-out effort to escape, but all his attempts were in vain because the threads of the net were too strong for the lion to tear. To save his life, the lion roared for help. The mouse was not very far away. It heard the roar of the lion and thought that the lion might be in danger. Without wasting a single moment, the mouse instantly hurried to the spot. Reaching the spot, the mouse saw that the lion was entangled in a net badly. Seeing the lion in danger, the mouse quickly began cutting the net with its razor-sharp teeth.
Mice are inherently very expert to tear anything using their teeth. With the natural expertise to tear any yarn, the mouse tore the net and made a big hole so that the lion could be free. The lion came out into the open space through the hole. The lion thanked the mouse and said, ‘’I was wrong about you. Now I could realize that even a small friend can serve a great service.’’
Moral: Never underestimate anyone.
