Chapter 26 - the lion and the mouse

A lion, the king of the jungle, was sleeping in the shade. A tiny mouse accidentally ran over his paw. The lion woke up and caught the mouse.

The mouse begged for mercy, "Please, king, spare my life! I'll repay you one day."

The lion laughed, "You, a tiny mouse, help me?"

But he let the mouse go. Later, hunters trapped the lion in a net. The mouse heard his roar and rushed to help. With her tiny teeth, she gnawed through the ropes, setting the lion free.

The lion was grateful, "I underestimated you, little one. You've repaid me."

*Moral:* Even the smallest of creatures can be of great help .
