The Lion and the Mouse
సింహం మరియు ఎలుక
A mighty సింహం (lion) was sleeping peacefully under a tree. A little ఎలుక (mouse) came running by and accidentally scampered right across the lion's paw, waking him up.
The lion grabbed the little mouse, ready to teach it a lesson. "Please forgive me!" squeaked the mouse. "One day, I might be able to help you too."
The lion laughed at the idea that a tiny mouse could ever help a big lion, but he was kind, so he let the mouse go free.
Many days later, the lion was caught in a hunter's net and roared for help. The little mouse heard him and came running. She nibbled through the ropes with her sharp teeth until the lion was free at last.
Moral of the story
No act of kindness is ever wasted, and even the smallest friend can make a big difference.
