Once, a lion was sleeping in a forest. Suddenly, a mouse came there. It did not notice the sleeping lion. It was running about and playing happily. Accidentally it ran over the face of the lion and awoke him. At this, the lion grew very angry. It caught the mouse and said, "You little creature, how dare you disturb me. I'll kill you." The mouse got frightened and said, "Your Majesty, if you kill a little creature like me, it will not bring any credit for you. Please, excuse me for this time." The lion felt pity and let the mouse go. The mouse thanked the lion and said, "If I get any opportunity, I'll help you." The lion laughed and said, "A little creature like you can never help a big creature like me." After a few days, the lion was caught in a hunter's net. It tried hard to be free, but failed and so, it began to roar helplessly. Hearing the roar of the lion, the mouse came quickly and said, "Sir, please wait. I'll help you." The mouse cut the net with its sharp teeth and set the lion free. The lion was very happy and said, "Thank you little mouse. You have saved my life. Now I know that the small ones can also help the big ones."
