The Lion and the Mouse Aesops Fable

Once there was a lion sleeping peacefully under the shade of a narra tree. Suddenly a mouse ran up his shoulders. The lion woke up and shook himself like an earthquake and sent the little creature to the ground. The lion caught the mouse by the tail, holding him with one great paw. Who are you to disturb my much-needed sleep?

roared the lion. Almost too scared to say anything, the mouse begged to be set free. I give you my word, Sir Lion. One day I will return the favor. Give your word, squeaking pip? asked the lion, laughing. The mouse nodded and the lion lifted his paw and let the creature free. They went their separate ways. The lion forgot about the mouse, but the mouse was more careful where he put his feet.

One day the lion roared pitifully through the forest. It woke the mouse in the comfort of his rest. That sounds like Sir Lion. He saved my life. I promised I would return the favor. Now is my chance. The mouse hurried toward the sound. He saw the lion hung from a great branch, caught in a hunters net, trapped so tightly it couldnt move. The mouse quickly climbed up the tree and down the thick ropes where he set to work with his sharp teeth. He chewed and pulled, nibbled and gnawed through the mesh until eventually the net began to loosen and the lion was released.

The lion thanked the mouse. Thank you, little mouse. I promise never to underestimate the smaller creatures again. The mouse in turn tried to look heroic and brave. It was with some relief and not a little pride that he watched as the lion disappeared into the forest.
