King," cried the little Mouse "forgive me this
time, I shall never forget it who knows but what
I may be able to do you a favor some of these
days?" The Lion was so tickled at the idea of
the Mouse being able to help him, that he lifted
up

his paw and let him go. Some time after the Lion
was caught in a trap, and the hunters who desired
to carry him alive to the King, tied him to a
tree while they went in search of a wagon to
carry him. Just then the little Mouse happened
to pass by, and seeing the sad plight of the
Lion, went up to him and soon gnawed away the
ropes that bound the King of the Beasts. "Was I
not right?" said the little Mouse.
