A Mouse running over his face awakened a Lion from sleep. Rising up
angrily, he caught him and was about to kill him. Then the Mouse
piteously entreated, saying:
“If you would only spare my life, I
would be sure to repay your kindness.” The Lion laughed at him but
allowed him go. It happened shortly after this that some hunters, who
bound him by strong ropes to the ground, caught the Lion. The Mouse,
recognizing his roar, came and gnawed the rope with his teeth, and set
him free, exclaiming:
“You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you, never
expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favor, Now you know
that it is possible for even a Mouse to confer benefits on a Lion.”
Moral: It is possible for even a Mouse to confer benefits on a Lion.
