The Story is entitled
“The Lion and The Mouse”
A lion was sleeping in a
forest. A mouse started
playing on it. The lion was
disturbed and arose from
his sleep. It caught up the
mouse angrily and tried to
crush it to death.
Then the mouse prayed
the lion to leave him off and
assured that it would help
him when it needed. The
lion laughed at it and let
him off.
One day the lion was
caught in a net spread by a
hunter. It roared and tried to
escape but in vain. The
mouse heard the lion's
roaring and came there. It
started cutting the net with
its teeth. The lion escaped
and thanked the mouse.
