"What is that noise ?" wondered the mouse as he
walked in the jungle. He had heard it a few
times already for the past few minutes. It
sounded like thunder to him, but the sky was too
clear for it to start raining. Out of curiosity,
he headed in the direction of the noise. What he
saw almost made him run for his life ! A lion
was sprawled right in the middle of the
clearing. Strangely though, the lion was just
lying there, doing absolutely nothing. Then it
gave a terrifying roar that made the mouse jump
out of his skin. "So that's where the noise is
coming from," said the mouse to himself. He
crept forward cautiously. When he saw that he
wasn't in any danger, he boldly went forward and
started working on the net bolding the lion in.
The lion sat quietly as the mouse worked. A big
hole was there after a few minutes. The lion
crept out of it in embarrassment and thanked the
mouse. It loped away quickly and the mouse went
on its way. |
