Ans:-                                       THE LION AND THE MOUSE

Once upon a time, there was a lion. One day he was taking rest under a shady tree. Suddenly; he fell asleep and began snoring. Now in the hole of the same tree, a mouse lived along with his family. He came out and began to jump on the body of the sleeping lion. The lion was disturbed. He woke up. He caught hold of the little mouse in his paw. He was going to crush it when he begged for mercy. He said imploringly, “Oh King of the jungle, spare my life. Do not take the life out of me. I shall be of some use to your Majesty.” The lion gave a hearty laugh and let it go. The mouse thanked the lion for his kindness and went his way.

Many days passed. The King of the jungle was roaming in his kingdom.

He fell into a trap which was laid for him. He pied his best to free himself, but he failed. As a last resort, he roared loudly. The mouse heard ‘his roaring. He came rushing with all members of the family. They saw that the ropes of the net were very strong. But they had very powerful teeth. They gnawed the ropes in no time. The lion was free. He thanked his little friend the mouse. He also extended his gratitude to all the members of the mouse’s family.

This little story shows that a small and tiny thing like a mouse can help_ a giant looking lion. Even small creatures are very useful. They can work wonders as here we have seen that a petty mouse helps free the King of the jungle.

Moral: One good turn deserves another.
