🦁 The Lion and the Mouse 🐭

Once upon a time, in a vast jungle, there lived a mighty Lion. 🦁 He was the king of the jungle and everyone respected him. One sunny afternoon, after a big meal, the Lion decided to take a nap under a shady tree. 🌳

As he slept, a tiny Mouse 🐭 came scampering by. The Mouse accidentally ran over the Lion‘s paw, waking him up. The Lion grabbed the Mouse with his huge paw and opened his mouth to eat him.

The tiny Mouse cried out,

“Please, mighty Lion, spare my life! If you let me go, I will surely help you one day!”

The Lion laughed,

“You, help me? How could a tiny creature like you help a mighty Lion like me?”

But he was amused by the Mouse‘s bravery and decided to let him go.

“Run along, little one. You are free.”

The Mouse scurried away, thankful for the Lion‘s kindness. 🌟

Days passed, and one day the Lion was out on his usual patrol of the jungle. Suddenly, he got caught in a hunter’s net. 🪤 He roared and struggled, but the more he fought, the tighter the net became. The Lion was trapped and could not free himself.

The Mouse heard the Lion‘s loud roars from far away. Recognizing the voice of the Lion who had spared his life, he ran as fast as he could to find him. When he saw the Lion caught in the net, he immediately began to chew through the ropes with his sharp little teeth. 🐭🦷

“Hold still, dear Lion, I will get you out of here!”

Bit by bit, the Mouse gnawed at the ropes until they broke, and the Lion was free again. The Lion looked at the Mouse with gratitude and amazement.

“You were right, little Mouse,”

the Lion said.

“You did help me. Thank you, my friend. I will never forget your kindness.”

The Lion and the Mouse became great friends and lived happily in the jungle, always looking out for one another. The Lion learned that even the smallest creatures can make a big difference, and the Mouse proved that size does not determine one’s strength or worth.
