The Lion and the Mouse

The Lion and the Mouse

Lion lay asleep on a sunny afternoon. Mouse was hurrying home through the tall grass.

She stumbled upon Lion and woke him. Lion trapped Mouse under his huge paw.

He lifted her by the tail. He swung her slowly through the air. " An afternoon snack, " Lion said. “ Delightful. "

Mouse felt his hot breath on her fur. She was so scared. Her voice was just a squeak. " Spare me, " she cried, “ and one day I will help you in return. "

Lion laughed loudly. Mouse trembled. " You, help me?" he laughed. “ You are a funny little one. "
