The Lion and The Mouse

Once when a Lion was asleep, a little Mouse began running up and down upon him. This

 soon wakened the Lion, who 

placed his huge paw upon him and opened his big jaws to swallow him.

"Pardon, O King!" cried the little Mouse, "Forgive me this time. I shall never repeat it and I

 shall never forget your

 kindness. And who knows, but I may be able to do you a good turn one of these days?"

The Lion was so tickled at the idea of the Mouse being able to help him, that he lifted up his 

paw and let him go.

Sometime later a few hunters captured the King and tied him to a tree while they went in

 search of a wagon to carry him on.

Just then the little Mouse happened to pass by, and seeing the sad plight in which the Lion 

was, ran up to him and soon 



gnawed away the ropes that bound the King of the Beasts. "Was I not right?" said the little

 Mouse, very happy to help the 

Lion.
