NOW LISTEN ATTENTIVELY

A lion was sleeping in his den. A mouse ran into the den. It ran up onto the lion’s head and sat on its paw. The lion woke up. It was very angry. It grabbed the mouse in its mighty paw.

“How dare you wake me up? I’ll kill you for this!” roared the lion.

The mouse was very scared. It said, “Please don’t eat me. Please let me go. I did not mean to wake you up. If you let me go, who knows, maybe one day I will be able to help you.”

When the lion heard this, it laughed. It thought it was a great joke. How could a skinny little mouse help the King of Beasts? But he let the little mouse go free, and the mouse ran as fast as it could out of the den.

A few days later, the mouse was out looking for food. It came upon the lion caught up in a big net. The net was a trap, set by hunters. The lion struggled to get free. But the more it struggled, the tighter the net became.

“Lie still,” said the mouse to the lion.

Then the mouse bit a small hole in the net with its sharp teeth. The mouse chewed and chewed and chewed. Soon the small hole was big enough for the lion to put its paw through. Soon the lion had two paws free. The mouse kept chewing and chewing at the net, and soon the lion was free from the trap.

“There,” said the mouse, “that’s how a little mouse can help a great lion.”
