One day a lion was sleeping in his den. A mouse was also playing nearby.

Little mouse began running up and down upon him; this soon wakened the

lion. Angry at the little mouse, the lion caught the mouse and said..

You little mouse. How dare you wake me? I will kill you. The mouse was frightened and played to the Lion..

Pardon, O king, Please do not kill me. I am a little creature. Please let me go and I will do you a good return one day, for sparing my life.

The lion was rather amused to hear this, thinking, “ What good can he do to me” but let him go.

A few days after the lion was walking in a jungle. He found himself caught in a hunter's net. He roared and rolled to get out of the net. But he failed. The Lion was pleading for help.
