There lived a lion in a forest. In same forest, near the bush lived a mouse in a hole.

It was a hot day and the lion was taking rest after a long hunt. The playful mouse came out of his hole and started climbing up and down the lion. The running of the mouse tickled the lion and he woke up.

He caught the mouse and said. “You silly fool! You disturbed my sleep. I am going to kill you”.

The mouse looked at the lion and replied humbly. “Oh king! Please do have mercy on this small creature! I have committed a mistake. If you release me I will surely repay you in the future”. The lion was surprised by the bravery of the mouse and he let the mouse free. Days Passed.

Once, when the lion went for a hunt he got trapped in a net. He started roaring. The mouse heard the roaring and thought, “The lion must have been trapped. I should help him”. He ran to the net and started cutting it.

Soon, the net was cut enough for lion to get away. They became good friends.
