The Lion and the Mouse
Story: The Lion and the Mouse
Once upon a time, in a savannah far, far away, there lived a mighty lion named Leo. Leo loved to roar loudly and scare all the other animals.
One day, while Leo was taking a nap, a tiny mouse named Max scurried by. Max didn't mean to disturb Leo, but he accidentally tickled Leo's nose with his whiskers.
Leo woke up with a start and saw Max. He laughed and said, "You're so small! What can you possibly do to help me?" Max said, "Even though I'm small, I can still help you someday."
Leo laughed again and let Max go. A few days later, Leo was caught in a hunter's net. He roared and roared, but no one came to help him.
Max heard Leo's roars and came to the rescue. He gnawed and gnawed on the ropes until they broke, and Leo was free!
Leo was so grateful to Max that he promised to always protect him. From that day on, Leo and Max became the best of friends.
