The Lion and The Mouse
Easop's fable
One day a mouse was playing in the forest and a lion caught it and said,"I shall eat you up""Don't eat me up!"said the mouse."Some day I will help you.""Oh ho!"laughed the lion."How can you help me?I'm large lion and you are a small mouse."But the lion was not hungry and he did not eat the mouse.The next day a hunter came,and put a large net in the forest to catch the lion.That night the lion walked in the forest and was caught in the net."I can't get away!"he said."I am caught in a net.Help!Help!"The mouse came and saw the lion in the net."I'll save you"he said.He bit the net a hundred times,and the lion got away.The lion said"Thank you,mouse.I'm a large lion and you are a small mouse,but you have helped me.""You did not eat me yesterday,and I have saved you from the hunter today,"said the mouse.They laughed,and went away together into the forest.
Morals:
Don't look down on the weak;even a mouse may be of service to a lion.
