    Retold from Aesop by Rohini Chowdhury

    Once, as a lion lay sleeping in his


    den, a naughty little mouse ran up
    his tail, and onto his back and up his
    mane and danced and jumped on
    his head ...
    ...so that the lion woke up.
    The lion grabbed the mouse and,
    holding him in his large claws,
    roared in anger. 'How dare you wake
    me up! Don't you know that I am
    King of the Beasts? Anyone who
    disturbs my rest deserves to die! I
    shall kill you and eat you!'
    The terrified mouse, shaking and
    trembling, begged the lion to let him
    go. 'Please don't eat me Your
    Majesty! I did not mean to wake you,
    it was a mistake. I was only playing.
    Please let me go - and I promise I
    will be your friend forever. Who
    knows but one day I could save your


    life?'
    The lion looked at the tiny mouse
    and laughed. 'You save my life?
    What an absurd idea!' he said
    scornfully. 'But you have made me
    laugh, and put me into a good mood
    again, so I shall let you go.' And the
    lion opened his claws and let the
    mouse go free.
    'Oh thank you, your majesty,'
    squeaked the mouse, and scurried
    away as fast as he could.





    A few days
    later the
    lion was
    caught in a
    hunter's
    snare.
    Struggle as
    he might,
    he couldn't break free and became even more
    entangled in the net of ropes. He let out a roar of
    anger that shook the forest. Every animal heard it,
    including the tiny mouse.


    'My friend the lion is in trouble,' cried the mouse. He
    ran as fast as he could in the direction of the lion's
    roar, and soon found the lion trapped in the hunter's
    snare. 'Hold still, Your Majesty,' squeaked the
    mouse. 'I'll have you out of there in a jiffy!' And
    without further delay, the mouse began nibbling
    through the ropes with his sharp little teeth. Very
    soon the lion was free.

    'I did not believe that you could be of use to me,
    little mouse, but today you saved my life,' said the
    lion humbly.
    'It was my turn to help you, Sire,' answered the
    mouse.
    Even the weak and small may be of help to those
    much mightier than themselves.
