The Lion and the Mouse By: Maddie Mizelle Long ago, there lived a grumpy old lion and a pesky little mouse. One night, the little mouse woke up the lion by swinging on his tail. The lion was so frustrated with the mouse, so he roared and snatched up the mouse saying, "I shouldn't let you go. I should just eat you right now!" The little mouse squealed and begged for forgiveness saying, "I will be your best friend and, for all I know, I could save your life." Chuckling about how silly the lion thought this idea was, he let the little mouse go. So happy, the mouse ran away. A few days later, the little mouse (along with all the other animals in the forest) heard a loud cry. The mouse went rushing towards the sound. He then found the lion trapped in a net. The lion let out another cry, and the mouse said, "Don't worry lion, you set me free, so I'll set you free." The little mouse nibbled through the rope, setting the lion free. To this day, this lion and this mouse have been the best of friends.
