From The Book of Virtues (p. 110): One day a great lion lay asleep in the sunshine. A little mouse ran across his paw and awakened him. The great lion was going to
eat him until the little mouse cried, "Oh, please, let me go, sir. Some day I may
help you." The lion laughed at the thought of the little mouse being of any use to
him. Nevertheless, he was a good natured lion, and he set the mouse free. The
lion was later observed to be caught in a net. He tugged and pulled with all his
might, but the ropes were too strong. He began to roar roar loudly. The little
mouse heard him, and ran to the towards the roars. “Be still, dear Lion, I will gnaw
the ropes and set you free." With his sharp little teeth, the mouse cut the ropes.
The lion was freed from the net. “You laughed at me once," said the mouse. “You
thought I was too little to do you a good turn. But see, you owe your life to a poor
little mouse."
