More than anything else in the word, Lion liked being King of the forest. He walked all around, showing off his power and pride. Each day Lion had a good sleep under the shade(阴凉处) of his favorite tree. He always dreamed of weaker animals bowing before him.
One day, Mouse man through the forest and tipped over Lion's huge paws (爪子). Lion woke up with a start, "How dare you wake me up!" He shouted angrily. Lion look the Mouse with one paw. "Are you my snack? And 1 think you'll make a delicious meal," he said. Mouse cried out, "King Lion, don't do that. If you let me live, I will always remember your kindness. And, some day, I might be able to help you." "How could such a powerless little mouse ever help me?" That thought made Lion laugh so much that he decided to let Mouse go.
A week later, Lion was walking through the forest on the way to his favorite tree when he stepped onto a hunter's (猎人的) net. The net tied him and no matter how he timed, he couldn't escape. When Mouse heard Lion's frightened shouts, he raced 1o help. Mouse quickly chewed (咀嚼) through the ropes to make a hole in the net. Soon, Lion moved out and was free. Lion looked down at the little mouse, "Thank you for saving my life," said him, smiling his widest smile. "I was wrong. You are not a powerless little mouse. You are a great friend!"
Maybe we are not powerful and strong. But as the saying goes, "There must be a use for my talent." Even the small can show great power.
