The Lion and the Mouse
A tiny mouse saves the king of the jungle.
Ages 3–6 · 6 pages · Lesson: Kindness🦁
A lion was sleeping. A little mouse ran over his nose by mistake.
🐾
The lion woke up and caught the mouse. “I will eat you!”
🐭
“Please let me go,” said the mouse. “One day I will help you.” The lion laughed, but let him go.
🕸️
Days later, the lion was caught in a hunter’s net. He roared and roared.
🐭
The mouse heard him. He ran to the net and chewed the ropes — nibble, nibble, nibble.
🎉
The net fell open. The lion was free! “Thank you, little friend,” he said.
