with anger and looked for those who disturbed its nice sleep. Then, it saw a small mouse

standing trembling with fear. The lion jumped on it and started to kill it. The mouse asked

the lion to forgive it. The lion felt pity and left it. The mouse ran away. Some days later, the

lion was caught in a net by a hunter. The mouse came there and cut the net. Thus, the lion

escaped. The mouse and the lion became friends. They lived happily in the forest.
