Once, when the lion was a sleep,
a little mouse began running up and down upon him; this soon awakened the lion,
who placed his huge paw upon him, and opened his big jaws to swallow him.
“Pardon, O king,” cried the little mouse, “Forgive me this times, I shall never
forget it; who knows but what I may able to do you a turn some of these day?”
The lion was so tickled at the
idea of the mouse being able to help me, that he lifted up his paw and let him
go.
Some time after, the lion was
caught in a trap and the hunters, who desired to carry him alive to the king,
tied him to a tree while they went in search of a wagon to carry him on.

On a hot day, a thirsty crow flew
over a field looking for water. For along time, she could not find any. She
felt very exhausted, almost giving up. Suddenly, she saw a water jug below her,
she flew straight down to see if there was any water inside. It was a surprise
because there was some water inside the jug.
The crow tried to push her head
into the jug. Sadly, she found that the neck of the jug was to narrow. Then,
she tried to push the jug down for the water to flow out but she found the jug
was too heavy.
The crow thought hard for a
while. Then looking around her, she saw some pebbles. She suddenly had a good

drink, ”it’s working!” she said.

box began to fill itself with coins. Every day, the farmer and his wife
collected hundreds of gold coins from the box. Soon, they became very rich.
Having
