The Grateful Mouse

　　A lion was sleeping in the field. Suddenly, something fell on the lion's body.

　　"who dares to wake me up from my sleep?"

　　The lion jumped up and looked around. However, there was only a small mouse trembling. The lion held the mouse with his paw.

　　"you little mouse, you dare to wake me. I'll swallow you up."

　　The mouse trembled and said, "Mr.lion, please forgive me . I slipped......"

　　"quiet!"

　　"If you spare me ,l'll repay you. The lion was surprised. "ha, ha,ha,how will a little mouse like you repay me?"

　　"I meant it, I'll repay you."

　　"ha, ha, ha, what a funny fellow. Fine, l'll forgive you.But,don't talk about repaying me,or l'll eat you up."

　　The lion was so amazed at what the mouse said, he let the mouse go.

　　One day, a large cry was heard in the woods. The lion was caught in a hunter's net.

　　"oh, I'm going to die now. I can't believe I'm going to die like this. The mouse appeared in front of the lion. The mouse began gnawing at the net. The net broke and the lion was free.

　　"Are you alright, Mr.lion?"

　　"Hey, you are that mouse."

　　"I told you, I would definitely repay you. You should not look down on me because I am small.

　　The lion shamefully hung his head.
