“said the Lion while releasing the mouse.
After he let him go, the mouse ran and said, “I will not forget your kindness.
Thank you “. Then he was back into the forest. One day the lion was caught by
hunter’s trap. He was trapped in a net installed by hunter. The lion was struggling
trying to escape from the net. But all of his efforts were useless because the net
was too strong. Then he was screaming for help “Please, save me!” the lion cried.
The mouse that was foraging in the forest heard lion’ screams. “That is lion.
Seemed he is in trouble now. I have to help him “said the mouse. Soon afterward
he went to lion. When he got there, he saw a lion that had trapped helpless in
hunter’s nets. “Hey, do not be afraid, I’ll help you escape from this bondage” said
the mouse. “What? You want to save me? Don’t be kidding “said the lion. Then
the mouse was climbing to the top of the net and began biting rope nets one by
one with his sharp teeth. The lion, who initially did not believe, surprised to see
what he did.
After a while the ropes broken and the lion could get out of the entanglement
nets, “Thank you! My little friend, you have freed me. I do not think you can do it
“said the lion. “You are welcome my friend. I had promised to repay your
kindness someday so I did it “replied the mouse. After that they were always
together and became good friends in the forest.
