He captured the little mouse and brought his paw to his mouth, as if to eat the little creature. “Wait!” said the mouse. “You are the king of the beasts and I beg for your mercy.” At this, the lion growled just a bit. “Not only do I beg,” said the mouse, “but I promise that if you spare my life, I will someday return the favor and return your life to you.” The lion was amused by the mouse’s arrogance and laughed and set him free. Not two days later, the mouse was scampering through the forest when he came upon the same lion, bound to a tree with a thick rope. “Lion, what has happened?” asked the mouse. “The hunters,” said the lion, “have trapped me and plan to take me to their king.” The little mouse got to work, using his sharp teeth to gnaw through the thick ropes.
