Once upon a time, in a sunny grassland, lived a strong and brave lion, the king of all animals.

One afternoon, after a big meal, the lion was sleeping soundly under a shady tree.

A little brown mouse was running around and accidentally ran across the lion's nose, waking him up with a loud roar.

The frightened mouse begged, "Oh, King, please forgive me! I didn't mean to disturb your sleep. If you let me go, I will always be grateful and will help you someday."

The lion found it funny that such a tiny creature could ever help him, a mighty lion. But because he was kind, he chuckled and let the mouse go free.

A few days later, the lion was caught in a hunter's strong net. He roared loudly, trying to break free, but the more he struggled, the more tangled he became.

The little mouse heard the lion's roar and remembered his promise. He ran quickly to the net and started to gnaw at the thick ropes with his sharp teeth.

Soon, the mouse had chewed through enough ropes, and the lion was free!

The lion was very grateful to the little mouse. He learned that even a small and weak creature can be a great help.

The moral of the story is: Little friends may prove great friends. Even though someone may seem small or unimportant, they can still do big things and help in surprising ways.
