00:00The Story of Lion and the Mouse
00:02Once there was a lion sleeping peacefully under the shade of a nara tree.
00:09Suddenly, a mouse ran up his shoulders.
00:13The lion woke up and shook himself like an earthquake and sent the little creature to the ground.
00:19The lion caught the mouse by the tail, holding him with one great paw.
00:25Who are you to disturb my much-needed sleep? roared the lion.
00:30Almost too scared to say anything, the mouse begged to be set free.
00:35I give you my word, Sir Lion. One day I will return the favor.
00:41Give your word, Squeaking Pip, asked the lion, laughing.
00:45The mouse nodded and the lion lifted his paw and let the creature free.
00:51They went their separate ways.
00:54The lion forgot about the mouse, but the mouse was more careful where he put his feet.
01:00One day the lion roared pitifully through the forest.
01:04It woke the mouse in the comfort of his rest.
01:08That sounds like Sir Lion. He saved my life.
01:11I promised I would return the favor.
01:14Now is my chance.
01:16The mouse hurried toward the sound.
01:19He saw the lion hung from a great branch, caught in a hunter's nest, trapped so tightly it couldn't move.
01:27The mouse quickly climbed up the tree and down the thick ropes where he set to work with his sharp teeth.
01:35He chewed and pulled, nibbled and gnawed through the mesh until eventually the net began to loosen and the lion was released.
01:44The lion thanked the mouse.
01:46Thank you, little mouse.
01:49I promise never to underestimate the smaller creatures again.
01:54The mouse in turn tried to look heroic and brave.
01:59It was with some relief and not a little pride that he watched as the lion disappeared into the forest.
