The Lion and Mouse Story

Once upon a time, there lived a mighty lion in a dense forest. Because of his anger and strength, he was famous all over the forest. All the animals of the forest respected and feared him.

One day when the lion was resting under a tree, a small mouse crawled over its paws. The lion wakes up and catches the mouse in his big paw.

The mouse says, “Lion sir, please have mercy on me. I have made a mistake. It happened knowingly or unknowingly. I had no intention to disturb your rest.”

The lion looked at the mouse and said with a smile, “What use is a small animal like you to me? You are just a small snack for me.”

The mouse begged and said, “If you spare my life, then one day I will definitely help you. Please give me a chance.”

Seeing the pleading of the mouse, the lion takes pity on it and decides to leave it alive. The lion raises its big paw and the mouse runs away from it as fast as it can.

Months pass by and the lion soon forgets about the mouse. One day when the lion was roaming around in the jungle, he got trapped in the net of a hunter. He tries to fight and scream, but the more he moves, the tighter the net gets on him.

The news of getting trapped in the lion’s trap reaches all the animals of the forest. All of them were afraid of the lion, but were also feeling sorry for its suffering. The mouse thinks of helping the lion and reaches the place where the lion was trapped.

The mouse says, “Don’t worry, lion. I will help you.”

The lion moaned in pain and said, “How will you save me, little mouse? Please don’t put your life in danger and get out of here.”

But the mouse was also stubborn. He wanted to help the lion at any cost. With all his might, he starts cutting the thread of the hunter’s net. The lion sees a ray of hope in the mouse and stops fighting and roaring. The mouse starts doing its work without getting tired, until the thread of the trap breaks and frees the lion. After some time the lion gets free from that trap.

The lion says to the mouse, “Dear mouse, I underestimated you. Please forgive me for all the bad things I said to you. Thank you so much for saving my life. I promise that from today I will show you by becoming a better king of this jungle.

The mouse smiled and said, “Lion sir, we may be different in size and strength, but everyone has the power to make a difference, no matter how small. Kindness and love can overcome any obstacle.” Remember that your kindness has brought us together today.”

The lion nodded after understanding the words of the mouse. From that day onwards the lion and the mouse became good friends. The lion understood the value of all animals, no matter how small in size. Even though the mouse was small, it was admired and respected by all the animals because of its bravery and kind behavior.
