One,
when a lion was asleep, a little mouse began running up and down upon him. this
soon awakened the lion, who placed his huge paw upon him, and opened his big
jaws to swallow him. "Pardon, O king," cried the little mouse,
"forgive me this time, I shall never forget it. who know but what I may be
able to do you a turn some of these days?"
The
lion was tickled at the idea of the mouse being able to help him, that the
lifted up his paw and let him go.
Some
time after, the lion was caught in a trap and the hunters, who desired to carry
him alive to the king, tied him to a tree while him on.
Just
then the little mouse happened to pass by and see the sad plight in which the
lion was. He went up to the lion and soon gnawed away the ropes that bound the
king of the beasts. "Wasn't I right?", said the little mouse
