Meuse. The great beast I was about to open his huge jaws to swallow the tiny
creature when “Pardon me, O King, I beg of you,” cried the frightened Mouse. “If
you will only forgive me this time, I shall never forget your kindness. 1 meant no
harm and I certainly didn’t want to disturb Your Majesty. If you will spare my
life, perhaps I may be able to do you a good turn, too.” The Lion began to laugh,
and he laughed and laughed. “How could a tiny creature like you ever do anything
to help me? And he shook with laughter. “Oh well” he shrugged, looking down at
the frightened Mouse, “you’re not so much of a meal anyway.” He took his paw
off the poor little prisoner and the Mouse quickly scampered away. Some time
after this, some hunters, trying to capture the Lion alive so they could carry him to
their king set up rope nets in the jungle. The Lion, who was hunting for some
food, fell into the trap. Her roared and thrashed about trying to free himself but
with every move he made, the ropes bound him tighter
The unhappy Lion feared he could never escape, and he roared pitifully. His
thunderous bellows echoed through the jungle. The tiny Mouse, scurrying about
far away, heard Lion’s roars “That may be there very Lion who once freed me,”
he said, remembering his promise. And he ran to whether he could help.
Discovering the sad state the Lion was in, the Mouse said to him, “Stop, stop!
You must not roar. If you make so much noise, the hunters will come and capture
you. I’ll get you out of this trap.” With his sharp little teeth, the Mouse gnawed at
the ropes until they broke. When the Lion had stepped out of the net and was free
once “Thank you, good Mouse,” said the Lion gently. “You did help me even
though I am big and you are so little. I see now that kindness is always
worthwhile.”

thought it must be divine. He quickly hid himself in the forest and surveyed it
from under cover, sometimes the tiger ventured a little nearer but still kept a
respectful distance.
One day the tiger came out again. Just then the donkey gave a loud
bray, I thinking the donkey was going to eat him, the tiger hurriedly ran away.
After a while, he sneaked back and watched the donkey carefully. He found
that though it had a huge body it seemed to have no special ability.
After a few days, the tiger gradually became accustomed to its braying and
was no longer so afraid. Sometimes, he even came near and circled around the
donkey.
Later the tiger became bolder. Once, he walked in front of the donkey
and purposely bumped it. This made the donkey so angry that it struck out his
hind legs and kicked wildly.
Seeing this the tiger was very gleeful, Such a big thing as you can do so little!’
With a roar, he pounced on the donkey and ate it up.
