Story

A lion was sleeping peacefully in the forest. A little mouse accidentally ran over him and woke him up. The lion became angry and caught the mouse. The frightened mouse begged for mercy and promised to help the lion someday. The lion laughed at the idea but kindly let the mouse go. A few days later, the lion was trapped in a hunter's net. Hearing the lion's roar, the mouse rushed to help. It gnawed the ropes with its sharp teeth until the lion was free. The lion thanked the little mouse and realised that even the smallest friend can be a great helper.

It told the lion that another lion had stopped it on the way. The angry lion asked the rabbit to show him the other lion. The rabbit took him to a deep well.
