A very hot afternoon, a lion dozing in a cold, dark cave. I was<br />

going to sleep at all when a mouse began to scamper on his<br />

snout. With an angry roar, the lion lifted his leg and crushed the<br />

mouse on the floor.<br />

you How dare you wake me? Te-I growled to espachurrar.<br />

Oh, please, please forgive me<br />

life shrieked the terrified mouse-promise someday help if you let<br />

me go.<br />

You want to tease me? said the Lion. How could a birrioso little<br />

mouse like you help a lion big and strong like me?<br />

the lion and the Mouse<br />

the lion and the Mouse<br />

He laughed heartily. He laughed while in an oversight slid his<br />

paw and mouse escaped.<br />

A few days later the lion went hunting through the jungle. I was<br />

just thinking about your next meal when he tripped over a rope<br />

stretched across the path. A huge network overtook him and, for<br />

all his strength, failed to break free. The more he fidgeted and<br />

squirmed, more and more tangled network tightened around him.<br />

The lion began to roar so loud that all animals heard him as their<br />

roars came to the very ends of the jungle. One of these animals<br />

was the ratonállo, who was gnawing on a grain of corn. He<br />

released immediately grain and ran to the lion.<br />

Oh, mighty lion! she screamed If you did me a favor and stand<br />

still for a while, I could help you escape.<br />

The lion felt so exhausted and lay there watching the mouse<br />

gnawed the ropes of the net. I could hardly believe it when, after<br />

a while, realized he was free.<br />

'I saved his life, -di¡o- ratónenle. I'll never make fun of the<br />

promises made by the young friends.<br />
