STAAR Review

One day a mouse ran into a sleeping lion. The lion was angry to be woken up. "Please let me go," said the mouse. "I will repay you someday." The lion laughed, "How can you repay me?" But he let the mouse go anyway. Days later, the lion got caught in a net. The mouse heard the cries of the lion. She quickly found the lion and began chewing the ropes. 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." What is the theme?

• Not everyone is as they seem.

• Do not trust others to help.

• Kindness is never wasted.

• You should be happy with what you have.
