The Lion and the Mouse

Once upon a time, a lion was sleeping in the forest. A little mouse came and ran over the lion's body. The lion woke up and caught the mouse.

"Please don't eat me," said the mouse. "I will help you someday."

The lion laughed and let the mouse go.

Later, the lion was caught in a hunter's net. The mouse came and gnawed through the net, setting the lion free.

"Thank you, little mouse," said the lion. "You were right. Even the smallest can help the biggest."
