Once upon a time, in a dense forest, a lion lay asleep. A little mouse came upon him
unexpectedly and ran across his nose. Roused from his sleep, the lion caught the mouse with
his huge paw and was about to eat him. The poor mouse begged the lion to let him go.
“Please let me go, and someday I will repay your kindness,” the mouse pleaded. The lion was
so amused by the thought of the mouse being able to help him that he let him go.
A few days later, the lion was caught in the hunter’s net. Unable to free himself, he roared
loudly. Hearing the lion’s roar, the mouse quickly ran to the spot. The little mouse gnawed at
the ropes of the net until they broke, setting the lion free. The lion was very grateful and said,
“I never thought that such a small creature could help me.” From that day on, the lion and the

help me,” the rabbit cried. “I need to hide from the fox, he is chasing me!”
The owl thought for a moment and then said, “I cannot help you directly, but I can give you
some advice. When you are in danger, stay calm and think. The fox will not catch you if you
use your wits.”
The rabbit was still frightened but decided to follow the owl’s advice. As the fox came closer,
the rabbit found a small hole in the ground and quickly hid inside. The fox searched all
