In the African jungle a lion caught a mouse and was about to kill it. “Don’t kill me!” asked the mouse. “Believe me, I can be very useful. Some day I am sure I will be able to help you.” The Lion laughed. “I don’t think such a small creature will ever be able to help me, he said.” “But I’ll free you anyhow. However, next time we meet I may kill you.” And the Lion let the mouse go.
A few days later the Lion got in a hunter’s net. He couldn’t free himself and roared furiously. Soon the mouse appeared. It chewed the ropes of the net, and freed the Lion.
“Thanks,” the Lion roared. “Because of your help, I will never do any harm to you in the future.”
