The Story: The lion and the Mouse

A huge lion on the grass happed to put his foot on the tiny mouse.
'Help, help!' cried the mouse. 'Let me out from under here!'
And he tickled the lion's paw.
The lion lifted his foot, saw the tiny mouse and held her up to his face.
'Grrrr, ' growled the lion.
'Please, Mr. Lion,' begged the mouse, ' don’t eat me up'.
'Why, shouldn’t I?' asked the lion. 'I am hungry'.
'I am so little,' said the mouse, 'I wouldn’t make much of the meal for you.'
'You are right,' said the lion and he put the mouse down on the ground.
'Thank you', said the mouse as she scurried away. 'I'll be glad to help you sometimes'.
'You help me?' roared the lion, laughing. 'That is a joke,'
Then the lion stretched out in the shade of a tree and fell asleep. But, just as he began to snore, three wolves sneaked up and threw a heavy rope around him. Before, the lion had opened his eyes he was tied securely to the tree. The wolves stole what they could carry of the lion's belonging and ran away, leaving the lion still tied to the tree. No matter how hard the lion pulled, he could not get the rope off. He could not even loosen it.
'Help, help!' howled the lion. When the mouse heard his cry she ran to him.
'Don't worry, Ms. Lion,' said the mouse, ' I'll help you'.
And with her sharp teeth she bit through the heavy ropes. In no time she had set the lion free.
'Thank you so much,' said the lion, and he set out after the wolves. When he caught up with them, he threw them to the ground and took back all they had stolen from him.
'And now, my dear friend,' said the lion as he returned to the mouse, 'you have saved my life and my fortune, too. I see that you were not at all too small to do very big deeds!'
'My pleasure,' replied the mouse proudly.
