A small mouse crept up to a sleeping lion. The mouse
admired the lion's ears, his long whiskers and his great mane.
"Since he's sleeping," thought the mouse, "he'll never suspect I'm here!"
With that, the little mouse climbed up onto the lion's tail, ran across its
back, slid down its leg and jumped off of its paw. The lion awoke and quickly
caught the mouse between its claws.
"Please," said the mouse, "let me go and I'll come back and help you
someday."
The lion laughed, "You are so small! How could ever help me?"
The lion laughed so hard he had to hold his belly! The mouse jumped to
freedom and ran until she was far, far away.
The next day, two hunters came to the jungle. They went to the lion's lair.
They set a huge rope snare. When the lion came home that night, he stepped into
the trap.
He roared! He wept! But he couldn't pull himself free.
The mouse heard the lion's pitiful roar and came back to help him.
The mouse eyed the trap and noticed the one thick rope that held it together.
She began nibbling and nibbling until the rope broke. The lion was able to
shake off the other ropes that held him tight. He stood up free again!
The lion turned to the mouse and said, "Dear friend, I was foolish to
ridicule you for being small. You helped me by saving my life after all!"
Moral of the story: No matter the size, everyone can help, and be just as important
