I . The Lion and the Mouse It is a hot summer day . A big lion is asleep under a tree . A little mouse comes out of the grass . He is looking for food . He does not see the lion , and he runs right over the lion’s face . The lion wakes up . He is very angry . He puts out one big paw and catches the mouse . “ Who are you ? ” roars the lion . “ Why are you running over my face ? ” “ I am so sorry ! ” says the mouse . “ I did not see you . I was only looking for food . ” “ Nobody wakes up a lion ! ” says the lion . “ Now I am going to kill you . ” “ Oh no , please ! ” says the mouse . “ Please let me live . Then one day I will help you . I promise . ” The lion laughs . “ Ha , ha , ha ! You ? Help me ? You are so small , and I am a lion ! ” The lion is not angry now . He opens his paw , and the mouse runs away . A few days later , some hunters come into the forest . They catch the lion and tie him to the ground with strong ropes . Then they go away . The lion pulls at the ropes . He pulls and pulls , but the ropes are too strong . So he roars . He roars very loudly , and his voice goes far through the forest . In his little home , the mouse hears the roar . “ I know that voice , ” he says . “ It is the lion from the tree ! He is in trouble . ” The mouse runs through the forest . At last he finds the lion on the ground . The mouse starts to bite one of the ropes . His teeth are small , but they are sharp . He bites and bites . After a while , the rope breaks . Then he bites the next rope , and the next one . At last the lion is free . “ Do you remember ? ” says the mouse . “ You laughed at me . But now you know . Even a little mouse can help a big lion . ” This time the lion does not laugh . “ You are right , my friend , ” he says . “ Thank you . ” Moral : Little friends can be great friends . II . The Ant and the Grasshopper It is summer . The days are long and hot . In the fields , the grain is tall and yellow . The ants work all day . They walk in a long line , one after the other . They carry small pieces of grain to their home under the ground . Near the ants , a grasshopper sits on a green leaf . The grasshopper does not work . He sings all day , from morning to night . “ Hello , ants ! ” he calls . “ Why are you working so hard ? It is a lovely day . Come and sing with me ! ” “ We have no time for songs , ” says one ant . “ We are putting food away for the winter . ” “ The winter is far away , ” says the grasshopper . “ Today there is a lot of food . ” “ Yes , today , ” says the ant . “ But in winter the fields are empty . ” The grasshopper laughs and sings again . The ants do not stop .
