One day a little mouse was running on a sleeping lion, waking him up. The lion tried to eat the mouse but the mouse begged for his life, saying he may be able to help the lion someday. Amused, the lion let the mouse go. Later, hunters trapped the lion in ropes. The same little mouse happened upon the lion and gnawed through the ropes, freeing the lion. The mouse said to the lion "Was I not right?" showing how even a small creature can help a big one.
