One day, after a satisfying meal, the lion decided to take a nap. He found a shady tree, lay down under it, and soon fell fast asleep. While the lion was sleeping, a little mouse was scurrying around, looking for food. In her search, she accidentally ran across the lion's nose, waking him from his slumber. The lion, being the king of the jungle, was furious at being disturbed. With a loud roar, he placed his massive paw over the tiny mouse, trapping her. "Please, mighty Lion," she squeaked, "let me go! If you spare my life, I promise I will one day repay your kindness. (The rest of the story is about how the mouse helped the Mighty Lion) and about kindness and making friends , no matter how small or weak or big you may be .... Hope You Like it.
