The lion and the mouse

Once upon a time there live a very proud lion.

He was very large, very beautiful and very strong.

All the other animals in the jungle very frightened of him

He frightened giraffes.

He frightened the monkeys.

And he especially frightened the little animals, like mice!

The lion was very pleased that he frightened all the other animals

One day, a little mouse was going for a walk.

She walked along a shiny, large branch.

...she slid down a twisted vine...

...she glided over a pool on a leaf...

and then she walked through a field of beautiful ,warm,golden fur. “a field of beautiful ,warm,golden fur!”

squeaked the little mouse, suddenly realising where she was.

Oh,dear,the little mouse had wandered onto the proud lion ,who was taking a nap.

The pitter patter of the little mouse’s little feet woke up the lion who was very unhappy to be woken up.His seized the little mouse in his paw and was about to swallow her whole when..

The little mouse squeaked very quietly

“p-p- please don’t eat me””you never know---if you let me free,I might be able to save your life one day.”.

"You shouldn't judge your friends by their size."

With that, the lion laughed so loudly that the mouse became quite alarmed.

“For making me laugh so much”,he chuckled”I’ll let you go.”

The lion did not believe that such little a animal could ever save his life.

While he was still laughing, the little mouse slipped away silently.

The next day, the proud lion was going for a walk in the jungle.

All of a sudden, a group of men charged out of the bushes.

The men threw a large net over the lion and carried him away towards the King’s palace.

Poor lion!

He didn’t want to go to the palace.

He wanted to stay in the jungle with his friend

Just then the lion heard a quiet whisper.

“Remember me?” said the whisper

It was the little mouse!

“Remember that you said I was too little to help you”

“Do you still think that?”

Indeed,the lion did think that the little mouse was too little to help him,but he was too sad to laugh and placed his weary head on his large paws .

When the lion looked up, guess what he saw.

The little mouse had gnawed a large hole through the net and no one had even noticed that the mouse was there.

"Hoorah!" roared the lion.

The lion bounded out of the hole and roard loudly.

The men who had caught him were very frightened and ran away.

“Thank you ,little mouse” said the lion

“You are right,you did save my life.”

“From now on,I shall never think that little friends can not be good friends .”

Now ,whenever the lion walked through the jungle

He never frightened the giraffes.

He never frightened the monkeys.

And he certainly never frightened the little animals, like mice!

After all, his best friend was a little mouse.
