The Lion and the Mouse
Once upon a time, in a dense forest, a lion was sleeping peacefully under a tree. A tiny mouse accidentally ran over the lion's face, waking him up. Furious, the lion caught the mouse with his large paw. The mouse pleaded, "Please let me go, and I promise to help you one day." The lion laughed but decided to release the mouse. A few days later, the lion was caught in a hunter's net. He roared loudly, but no one came to help him. Hearing the lion's roar, the mouse quickly came to his rescue. The mouse chewed through the ropes of the net and set the lion free. The lion thanked the mouse and said, "You were right. Even a tiny creature can help a mighty lion."
