　　The Lion and the Mouse Who Returned a Favor

　　A cute baby mouse went on a picnic in the woods. At the same time, a lion was taking a nap in the warm sunlight. The baby mouse was alarmed to see the large lion taking a nap. 'Wow! Mr. Lion is bigger than I've heard!'

　　While gazing at the lion, the baby mouse happened to step on the lion's paw. Instantly, the lion opened his eyes and glared at the mouse. "What fool stepped on my foot?" Scared to death, the baby mouse shivered.

　　"Mr. Lion, please forgive me." begged the baby mouse. However, the lion was very displeased that the little mouse stepped on his foot. "I'm sorry. Please, forgive me. If you spare my life, I will return a favor," said the mouse. "Huh! How can such a little creature like you return my favor?" snorted the lion.

　　The baby mouse mustered all his courage and said once again, "Mr. Lion, you will be in trouble someday and who knows who can help you?"

　　The lion was impressed by the little mouse's courage and said, "Well, well, well! Since I appreciate your courage, I'll forgive you. I will let you go." "Thank you, Mr. Lion!" The baby mouse hurriedly ran a way.

　　One day, the lion was proudly rambling around the forest and got trapped in a hunter's net. "I can't believe this! I got caught in a trap that humans set!'" The lion was very scared because he thought the hunters would come any minute.

　　The lion regretted that he came out to search for food. 'I should have stayed home.' The lion recklessly cried out, "Help! Help me!"

　　However, other animals could not help the lion because they were afraid that the hunters would come at any moment. Then, the little mouse who was living outside the forest came running after hearing the lion cry.

　　"Mr. Lion, what happened?" "As you can see, I got caught in a trap that the hunters set. But, no one can help me," cried the lion. "Mr. Lion, can I help you?"

　　"How can such a small creature like you help me?" The baby mouse began nibbling and nibbling. He did his best. Slowly, a few strings of the net broke off.

　　Finally, the lion was able to get out of the net. "Thank you, Little Mouse. How can I repay you?" "You forgave me last time," replied the mouse. The big lion thanked the little baby mouse with all his heart.

　　在盯着狮子的时候，小老鼠碰巧踩到了狮子的爪子。立刻，狮子睁开眼睛，瞪着老鼠。”什么傻瓜踩了我的脚?”吓死了，小老鼠颤抖。

　　“恶魔巫师先生，请原谅我。”小老鼠恳求道。然而，狮子很生气，小老鼠踩到了他的脚。”我很抱歉.请原谅我。“如果你饶了我的命，我会帮你一个忙。”老鼠说。呵呵!像你这样的小家伙怎么能回报我呢?”哼了一声狮子。

　　小老鼠鼓起所有的勇气，再次表示，“恶魔巫师先生，你会有麻烦的一天，谁知道谁可以帮你?”

　　小老鼠的勇气给狮子留下了深刻的印象!既然我感谢你的勇气，我会原谅你。我会让你走的。“谢谢你，恶魔巫师先生!”小老鼠赶紧跑了一条路。

　　一天，狮子很骄傲地漫步森林，被困在猎人的网。”我简直不敢相信!我被人设的陷阱抓住了!”狮子非常害怕，因为他认为猎人随时都会来。

　　狮子后悔他出来找食物“我应该呆在家里的，”狮子鲁莽地叫道，“帮助!救救我!”

　　然而，其他动物不能帮助狮子，因为他们担心猎人随时会来。然后，住在森林外面的小老鼠听到狮子的叫声就跑了。

　　“恶魔巫师先生，发生什么事了?”正如你所看到的，我被猎人所设的陷阱所捕获。但是，没有人能帮助我，“狮子喊道恶魔巫师先生，我能帮你吗?

　　“像你这样的小动物怎么能帮助我?”小老鼠开始啃咬。他尽了最大努力。慢慢地，几根弦断了网。

　　最后，狮子能从网里出来。”谢谢你，小老鼠。我怎么报答你?”你原谅我最后一次，”老鼠回答道。大狮子真心感谢小老鼠。
