The Lion and the Mouse
A lion was awakened from sleep by a mouse running over his face. Rising up angrily, he caught him and was about to kill him, when the mouse piteously entreated, saying: "If you would only spare my life, I would be sure to repay your kindness." The lion laughed and let him go. It happened shortly after this that the lion was caught by some hunters, who bound him by strong ropes to the ground. The mouse, recognizing his roar, came and gnawed the rope with his teeth and set him free, exclaiming:
"You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you, expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favor; now you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to con benefits on a lion."

狮子和老鼠
一只睡梦中的狮子被一只撞到它脸上的老鼠给惊醒了。狮子愤怒地爬了起来，抓住老鼠并打算杀了它，这时，老鼠可怜地乞求狮子，“如果你饶我一命，我一定会报答你的恩情。”狮子听后哈哈大笑并放了老鼠。不久之后，狮子被一群猎人抓到了，猎人们用牢固的绳子把狮子绑了起来。老鼠听到了狮子的咆哮，便跑了过来咬断绳子，释放了狮子。老鼠喊道：
你曾经嘲笑我帮不到你，不能得到我的报答，现在你知道了即使是老鼠也能为狮子带来好处的。
