The
Lion And The Mouse - A Short Story For Children
Once upon a time in the jungle, the Lion was seen as the
king of the whole jungle.
One day, he was resting under a tree about to sleep. There
was this mouse running up and down on him distracting him from sleeping. This
angered the lion and he placed his big paw on the mouse and caught it. As he
about to swallow the mouse, the little mouse pleaded, “forgive me oh great
king!”
“I promise to not repeat this action ever again and I shall
never forget this act of kindness from you,” said the mouse. The Lion had pity
on him. “Who knows”, said the mouse, “I might repay this kind act someday.”
The thought of the mouse helping the lion amused him that he
laughed loudly and let him go.
So many days later, a group of hunters had made their way
into the jungle in search of animals. They caught the lion, tied him with ropes
and went to bring their wagon to convey him to the zoo.
Moments after they had left the lion to go and bring their
wagon, the mouse was passing through the path where the lion was tied. When he
saw the lion tied, he quickly rushed to rescue him. He bit every rope that was
used to tie the lion.
I told you someday, I was going to be of help to you. “How
right am I?” said the mouse.
Give the little help you can today. Show random acts of
kindness to anyone you meet no matter how lowly placed they might be in life.
Tomorrow it might pave the way the for you. Who would have thought the Lion
someday would be needing help from the mouse?
