I am very large lion and you are a very small mouse. ” But the lion was not hungry and he didn’t eat the mouse.

The next day a hunter came and put a large net in the forest to catch the lion. That night the lion walked in the forest and was caught in the net.” I can’t get a way!;’ he said.” I am caught in the net, Help! Help!”

The mouse came and saw the lion in the net”! will save you;’ he bit the net a hundred time, and the lion got away. The lion said, “Thank you, mouse. I am large and you are small brown mouse, but you have helped me”
