8 The lion and the mouse

Chapter 8 The lion and the mouse Zzzzzzz... It was too hot to prowl, so the king of the jungle lay snoozing in the sun.

第八章狮子和老鼠 天气太热，不能四处觅食，所以丛林之王躺在太阳下打盹。

Grerrrrr... Sounds like thunder. A tiny mouse was hurrying home with some corn for her dinner. She was in such a rush, she didn't notice the lion and ran straight over his paw.

Grerrrrr……听起来像打雷。 一只小老鼠带着一些玉米匆忙回家做晚餐。 她太匆忙了，没有注意到狮子，径直从它的爪子上跑过去。

The lion felt a tickle and woke up. This grass is soft. He grabbed the mouse in his claws. "A mouse for dinner, what a nice idea," he snarled and licked his lips.

狮子感到一阵痒痒，醒了过来。 这草很软。他用爪子抓住老鼠。 “一只老鼠当晚餐，多好的主意，”他咆哮着舔了舔嘴唇。

"Please don't eat me," squeaked the mouse. "Let me go and I promise I'll help you out one day." "Ha! You really think a little mouse like you can help a lion like me," he sneered. But he admired the mouse's bravery, so he let her go.

“请不要吃我，”老鼠尖叫道。 “放我走，我保证有一天我会帮你的。” “哈!你真的认为像你这样的小老鼠可以帮助像我这样的狮子，”他嘲笑道。 但他钦佩老鼠的勇敢，所以他放了她。

The next day, the lion was out hunting when he tripped on a rope and set off a trap. A large net fell on him. Aagh!

第二天，狮子外出打猎时被一根绳子绊了一下，触发了陷阱。 一张大网落在他身上。Aagh !

He struggled to free himself, but the net held him tightly. "How dare someone trap the king of the jungle," he cried, and his voice echoed through the trees. How embarrassing.

他挣扎着想挣脱，但网把他牢牢地缠住了。 “怎么有人敢诱捕丛林之王？”他喊道，他的声音在树林中回荡。 多么令人尴尬。
