The Lion and the Mouse

Teks 1: Once upon a time, a lion was sleeping in his lair. A little mouse began running up and down upon him; this soon wakened the lion, who placed his huge paw upon him and opened his big jaws to swallow him. "Pardon, O King," cried the little mouse, "forgive me this time, I shall never forget it: who knows but what I may be able to do you a turn some of these days?" The lion was so tickled at the idea of the mouse being able to help him, that he lifted up his paw and let him go. Sometime later, a few hunters captured the lion and tied him to a tree. After that, they went in search of a wagon to carry him on.
