Once upon a time, a big lion was sleeping in the jungle. A small mouse accidentally ran over the lion's nose and woke him up. The lion got angry and grabbed the mouse in his paw.
The mouse begged the lion to spare his life, promising to repay his kindness someday. The lion laughed at the idea of a tiny mouse ever being able to help him, but decided to let him go anyway.
Some time later, the lion was caught in a hunter's trap. He roared with all his might, but couldn't break free. The mouse heard the lion's cries and ran to his rescue. The mouse quickly gnawed through the ropes of the trap and set the lion free.
The lion was amazed and grateful, realizing that even the smallest creatures can be of great help.
Once upon a time, a mighty lion was napping under the warm sun. He stretched out beneath the shade of a tall tree, enjoying the peaceful afternoon.
Nearby, a little mouse was scurrying through the grass, looking for food. She wasn’t watching where she was going and accidentally ran across the lion’s nose. The lion twitched in his sleep, then suddenly woke up with a loud snort.
Annoyed, the lion swiped his paw and caught the tiny mouse. He held her firmly under his huge paw and opened his mouth wide.
The little mouse trembled with fear. “Please don’t eat me!” she squeaked. “If you let me go, I promise I’ll help you one day.”
The lion looked at the tiny creature and laughed. “You? Help me? What could someone as small as you do for a great lion like me?” But he was in a good mood, so he lifted his paw and let the mouse go.
The mouse rushed into the tall grass, calling out, “Thank you, mighty lion! I won’t forget this!”
A few days later, the lion was walking through the forest when he stepped into a trap set by hunters. A heavy net fell over him, tangling his legs and body. No matter how hard he roared or struggled, he couldn’t break free.
Hearing the lion’s loud roars, the little mouse remembered her promise and ran toward the sound. She spotted the lion trapped under the thick ropes and quickly climbed onto the net.
“Don’t worry, I’ll help you!” she said. She used her sharp teeth to gnaw at the ropes, biting and chewing as fast as she could. She worked and worked until, finally, the ropes snapped.
The lion gave a mighty shake and stepped out of the broken net. He looked down at the little mouse in surprise and gratitude.
“Thank you, my little friend,” the lion said. “You have saved my life.”
The mouse smiled. “Even a tiny mouse can help a mighty lion.”
From that day on, the lion and the mouse became good friends and lived happily in the forest.
A lion is sleeping under a tree. A little mouse runs over the lion's nose. The lion wakes up and catches the mouse.
The mouse says, "Please, let me go. I will help you one day."
The lion laughs. "You are so small. How can you help me?" But the lion lets the mouse go.
One day, the lion is in a net. He cannot get out. The lion roars for help.
The mouse hears the lion. The mouse runs to the net. The mouse chews the net with his teeth. The lion is free.
The lion says, "Thank you, little mouse."
The mouse says, "You are welcome."

Once upon a time, in a jungle far, far away, a big lion was snoring away like he'd just eaten a three-course meal. Which, let's be honest, he probably had.
As he was dreaming about his favorite dish - gourmet antelope with a side of zebra - a small mouse with a knack for adventure accidentally scampered across the lion's nose. Sneezing himself awake, the lion's eyes popped open, and he looked down at the mouse.
"What's this, then? Breakfast in bed?" the lion roared, grabbing the mouse in his paw.
"Oi, I'm not a snack, I'm a mouse with ambitions!" squeaked the mouse. "If you let me go, I'll repay the favor. Pinky promise!"
The lion couldn't help but chuckle. "A favor? From you? That's like asking a snail to win a footrace!"
"But I'm a mouse of my word," pleaded the mouse, doing his best to look earnest. "Give me a chance, and I'll show you I can be useful!"
The lion's curiosity got the better of him, and with a grand, theatrical sigh, he let the mouse go. "Alright, little comedian. Run along now. And don't forget the cream and sugar next time!"
Some time later, the lion found himself in a sticky situation, quite literally. Caught in a hunter's trap, he roared and thrashed, but to no avail. "Blasted ropes! They're tougher than a two-day-old meatloaf!"
Just then, the mouse, hearing the lion's cries, appeared like a miniature hero. "Never fear, Mighty Lion! Your pint-sized pal is here!"
The lion looked at the mouse, hope in his eyes. "Well, it's about time! I've been waiting here so long, I'm practically a tourist attraction!"
With quick wit and even quicker teeth, the mouse gnawed through the ropes, setting the lion free. The lion looked down at his tiny savior, a newfound respect in his eyes.
"You know, little friend, you've shown me that even the smallest creatures can be of great help. And not just because you've got that charming smile!"
The mouse beamed, puffing out his chest. "I told you I'm a mouse of my word! Now, about that breakfast in bed..."
They both laughed, and from that day on, they were the best of friends, proving that no matter how big or small, everyone has something special to offer.
In the heart of the jungle, grand and vast,
A lion slept soundly, his snoring quite fast.
Along came a mouse, quick on his feet,
Over the lion’s nose, causing a beat!
The lion awoke, with a roar and a frown,
Lifting the mouse, who felt quite let down.
"Please let me go," the mouse did plea,
"One day I'll help, just wait and see."
The lion chuckled, "How could that be?
But off you go, little mouse, I set you free."
Days flew by, the sun and the rain,
Until a trap caught the lion, causing him pain.
He roared and he struggled, to no avail,
While the tiny mouse heard his woeful wail.
With swift little nibbles and sharp little teeth,
The mouse freed the lion, a sigh of relief.
The lion, with gratitude, looked down and then,
He whispered, "Thank you, my tiniest friend."
