If you kill a poor creature like me, it will do you no honor. Save my life for this time.”
Out of pity the lion let the mouse go. The Lion and the MouseSome days after, the lion was caught in a hunter’s net.
Lion tried hard but could not get out. He began to roar. The mouse heard the roar of the lion.
It at once came to the net and said, “Your Majesty, please be quite. I will gnaw at the ropes of the net with my little sharp teeth. Then you will be released.’’
The mouse cut the net into pieces with its teeth and set the lion free.
The lion said, “Dear little friend, thank you very much you have saved my life.”
Moral of the story:
Being kind to someone is never a waste.
