A Lion was sleeping when a Mouse woke him up. The Lion was about to eat him when the Mouse said, “Free me and I shall never forget it: who knows? I may help you some day." The Lion laughed so much at the idea of the Mouse being able to help him, that he let him go. Some time later the Lion was caught in a hunter’s trap. The little Mouse happened to pass by and, seeing the trapped Lion, he gnawed through the ropes and freed him. Little friends can be a big help.
