The Lion and The Mouse
A heartwarming forest tale of kindness and how even the smallest can help the mighty.
🦁
Deep in the jungle, a mighty Lion lay resting under a tree. While he slept, a tiny Mouse ran across his paw, chasing a leaf. The Lion woke up with a loud roar and caught the Mouse under his claws.
“Who dares to disturb the king of the jungle?” he growled.
“Please forgive me, O King!” squeaked the Mouse. “Let me go, and someday I might help you in return.”
The Lion laughed. “A little thing like you helping me? That’s amusing!” But he gently let the Mouse go and went back to sleep.
A few days later, hunters set a trap in the forest. The Lion was caught in a net and roared in anger. Hearing his cries, the Mouse rushed over, nibbled the ropes, and freed the Lion.
“You helped me after all!” the Lion said gratefully. The two became friends, proving that courage and kindness come in all sizes.
🌼 Moral of the Story
No one is too small to help someone big. Kindness given always finds its way back.
