The lion caught the little mouse and said: "How dare you to wake me up! Don’t you know that I am the king of the animals? Now I will eat you" .The little mouse said to the lion:" No, please don't eat me. I made a mistake. Please let me go. I can help you one day". The lion looked at the small mouse and laughed: " Ha, ha, ha. A little mouse can't help me, but you made me laugh. So I will let you go." The lion let the mouse go and the mouse ran away.A few days later The lion was sad. It was caught in a hunter's net: "Help, help!" said the lion. "Now I can help you, lion" Said the little mouse. But the lion Said: "What can you do? You're too little". "Look what I can do!" Said the little mouse and he started to chew the ropes of the net. Until the lion was free."You see. A little mouse can help a big lion" said the little mouse". The lion said to the mouse: "Thank you little mouse. You are little but you are brave and strong.
