Lion and Mouse
In the forest, a Lion was peacefully sleeping with his head resting on his paws. Suddenly, a small and timid Mouse stumbled upon him, causing her to panic and hastily run across the Lion's nose. Startled from his slumber, the Lion angrily swiped his massive paw at the tiny creature, planning to end her life. "Begging for mercy," pleaded the Mouse. "Please release me, and one day I promise I will repay you." The Lion found it amusing to think that a Mouse could be of any assistance to him. However, being a generous creature, he eventually decided to let the Mouse go. A few days later, while the Lion was hunting in the forest, he found himself entangled in a hunter's net. Struggling to break free, the Lion filled the air with his furious roars. Recognizing the Lion's voice, the Mouse quickly located him, desperately struggling in the net. Rushing to one of the thick ropes that held the Lion captive, she gnawed at it until it finally snapped, setting the Lion free. "You mocked me when I spoke of repaying you," stated the Mouse. "Now you witness that even a Mouse can be of assistance to a mighty Lion."
