King of the jungle
He walked around showing off his power and
pride.
Each day Lion took a long
lazy sleep under the shade of his favourite tree He always dreamed of weaker
animals bowing(鞠躬)
before him.
One day Mouse ran through the jungle and
tripped over Lion's huge paws Lion woke up with a start "How dare you wake
me up!" He shouted angrily Lion grabbed Mouse with one paw "On the
second thought, I'm in the mood for the snack, and you'll make a delicious meal"
He said.
Mouse cried out, "King Lion, please
spare(饶恕)
me! If you let me live, I'll always remember your kindness. And some day, I
might be able to help you"
"How could such a
powerless little mouse ever help me?" That thought made Lion laugh so much
that he decided to let Mouse go A week later, Lion was walking through the
jungle on the way to his favourite tree when he stepped onto a hunter's net The
net scooped him up No matter how he twisted and turned, he couldn't escape.
When Mouse heard Lion's frightened shouts,
he raced to help Mouse quickly chewed(咬)through
the ropes to make a hole in the net Soon, Lion moved out and was free Lion
looked down at the little mouse" Thank you for saving my life," said
Lion, smiling his widest smile "I was mistaken. You are not a powerless
little mouse. You are a great friend!"
