Storytelling - The Lion and The Mouse One day, a Lion slept in the jungle. A tiny mouse ran over the Lions head and down his nose. "Since he's sleeping," thought the mouse, "he'll never suspect I'm here!"Suddenly, the Lion awoke with a loud roar. He was very angry. His paw caught the little mouse.The Lion opened his huge jaws to swallow the mouse. "Please," said the mouse, "let me go and I'll come back and help you someday."The Lion began to laugh. He laughed and laughed. "You are so small! How could ever help me?" And he shook with laughter. The Lion was much amused to think that a Mouse could ever help him. But he was generous and finally let the Mouse go. He released his paw from the mouse and the mouse quickly ran away.One day, two hunters, tried to capture the Lion alive. They set up rope nets in the jungle. The Lion fell in to the trap. He roared and asked for help. He couldn't pull himself free.The tiny mouse heard the Lions roars. That may be the Lion who once freed me he said remembering his promise. The Mouse knew the voice and quickly found the Lion struggling in the net. And he ran to see whether he could help.Discovering the sad Lion, the mouse said to him Stop, stop ! you must not roar. If you make so much noise, the hunters will come and capture you. Ill get you out of this trapWith his sharp little teeth, the mouse gnawed at the ropes until they broke. The Lion stepped out of the net and was free. Thank you, good mouse, Said Lion gently. You did help me. I see now that kindness is always worth while,"You laughed when I said I would repay you," said the Mouse. "Now you see that even a Mouse can help a Lion." said the little mouse.Don't forget: even the smallest friend is worthwhile!
