The Lion and the Mouse

A Lion lay asleep in the forest, his great head resting on his paws. A timid little Mouse came upon him unexpectedly, and in her fright and haste to get away, ran across the Lion's nose. Roused from his nap, the Lion laid his huge paw angrily on the tiny creature to kill her.

"Spare me!" begged the poor Mouse. "Please let me go and someday I will surely repay you."

The Lion was much amused to think that a Mouse could ever help him. But he was generous and finally let the Mouse go.

Some days later, while stalking his prey in the forest, the Lion was caught in the toils of a hunter's net. Unable to free himself, he filled the forest with his angry roaring. The Mouse knew the voice and quickly found the Lion struggling in the net. Running to one of the great ropes that bound him, she gnawed it until it parted, and soon the Lion was free.

"You laughed when I said I would repay you," said the Mouse. "Now you see that even a Mouse can help a Lion."

The Birds, the Beasts,

and the Bat

Many years ago, the birds and the beasts declared war against each other.? No compromise was possible, and so they fought constantly. It was a terrible battle.? Many a rabbit and many a mouse died.? Chickens and Geese fell by the score—and the victor always stopped for a feast.

Now the bat had not openly joined either group as he did not want to be caught on the losing side.?So, when the birds asked which side he was on the bat quickly replied, "I have wings, I am on your side of course."?And when the beasts asked who he supported, the bat responded, "With my sharp teeth and fur, it is obvious I am on the side of the beasts."?The truth of it was that he did little to help either group spending most of his time telling tales about the other.

When the battle was over, the behavior of the bat was discussed at the peace conference.? The birds and beasts all turned angrily against the bat when they realized how many times the bat had changed sides and spread rumors.

Since then, the bat lives in fear of the beasts and the birds -- hiding in dark towers and deserted ruins, flying out only in the night.
