A tiny mouse begged a caged lion to spare his life, promising to return the kindness one day. The lion laughed at the mouse’s small size but released him, amused by his spirit. Later, when hunters’ net entrapped the lion, the mouse appeared and chewed through the ropes, freeing the surprised lion. From then on, the unlikely pair were friends, the lion protecting the mouse who proved that even the smallest creature can be of great help.
