🦁 The Lion and the Mouse
One day, a lion was sleeping in the forest. A tiny mouse accidentally ran across his nose and woke him up. The lion grabbed the mouse angrily with his huge paw.
“How dare you wake me!” roared the lion. “I will eat you!”
The little mouse trembled and pleaded, “Please forgive me, mighty lion. I didn’t mean to disturb you. If you let me go, I promise I will help you someday.”
The lion laughed. “How can a tiny mouse ever help a lion?” But he let the mouse go.
A few days later, the lion was caught in a hunter’s net. He roared and struggled, but couldn’t break free.
Hearing his roar, the mouse ran to help. He nibbled through the ropes with his sharp teeth and set the lion free.
“You were right,” said the lion gratefully. “Even a small friend can be a great help.”
🌟 Moral: No act of kindness is ever wasted.
