The Mighty Lion And Me





A cuddly friend





Long ago in the jungle of Africa, lived a bratty little mouse. Yes that is me! One day, I crossed a lion sleeping peacefully in a den. He looked like a cuddly teddy bear that I would love to sleep with. But I have heard the other animals say he is the terror of the jungle. I decided to have some fun by throwing pebbles at the lion. Once I started throwing pebbles at the lion, the lion woke up annoyed with me for throwing pebbles at him. And he did looked like a terror just like what the other told. He caught me be my tail with his sharp claws to eat me up. I was trembling with fear. But then I tried to be brave and I told him I would help him if he would let me go. The lion laughed saying how could a mouse help him, as I am very small but eventually he agreed. After few days, the lion walked into a hunter’s trap. And the lion howled and roared because he was trapped and was unable to get out. I heard a familiar sound and then I scurried to that part of the jungle. After seeing this, I wanted to rescue him. So I gnawed the net as fast as I could. It took me many hours and finally, the lion was set free before the hunter could come. From then on the lion and I became very good friends. I have got my very own teddy bear to cuddle with.
