It was an extremely cold day. A lion felt his body shiver with cold in his den. He thought that it would be delighted to go out and lie in the sun. He came out and did so. The warmth that crept into his body soon sent him to sleep. A mouse lived closed by, came out of the hole, and thoughtlessly climbed over the lion and began to run up and down on his body.
The lion woke up, when he saw a despicable creature as mouse playing pranks with him, the king of beats, was beside himself with rage. He caught it in his paw and was going to crush it to death. The mouse begged the lion for mercy saying, “Please do not kill me.
Let me be free. If I live, I may repay you for your kindness by helping you in time of your need”. The lion laughed, and let the mouse go. After some days hunter came into the forest, he set his net. The same lion was prowling in search of food, being unaware of the trap laid, he was caught in it.
He tried to get himself free. The more he tried, the more he got entangled. He began to fume and fret, but it did him no good. He roared, the mouse by chance heard his roar. It peeped out of the hole to see what’s happening.
When it saw the lion struggling to get free of the net, it ran to his help, began to gnaw the ropes of the net with its small, sharp teeth. It did not take him long to do so. The lion was now free. He thanked his little friend for the help rendered.
