The lion and the mouse



A lion, tired of hunting, slept stretched out under the good shade of a tree. Mice came strolling over him and

he woke up. Everyone managed to escape, except one, which the lion trapped under his paw. Both the

mouse asked and begged that the lion gave up on crushing him and let him go. Some time later the lion

was trapped in a hunters' net. Failing to let go, he made the entire forest tremble with his roars of rage. At

that, the mouse appeared, and with its sharp teeth he gnawed at the ropes and released the lion.
