In a jungle, there lived a mighty lion whom all other creatures feared greatly. The king of the jungle was known to be very terrible and had no fear. He felt that he had to be respected by all creatures in the forest. He spent part of his time hunting and part of sleeping. No living creature in the jungle dared to approach its den, especially when the lion, the king of the jungle, was sleeping. The mighty beast was furious if its sleep was being disturbed in any way.

But one day a little mouse was curious to see how the den of the Lion the King of the jungle was. With a firm intention, he went to the cave where the lion used to rest. But when he arrived, he did not see the king of the jungle.

"He'd gone somewhere. Will he be back soon?” A question arose in the little mouse's heart. To treat his curiosity the little mouse slipped into the cave. The cave was very dark, on the ground he saw the footprints of the king of the jungle, and the big footprints made him very frightened.

"Looks like I'll have to go back soon." thought the mouse.

But unfortunately, at that time the sound of the lion's footsteps entered the cave.

"Oh no, he'll be in soon. What should I do." The mouse trembled.

It turned out that the lion king of the jungle had only gone to drink in the river, and he had come back to rest.

The mouse hid in the dark of the cave and saw a large shadow of a lion falling on the floor. The lion sat near the entrance of the cave and rested its head on its big feet. Soon he fell asleep. The entire cave seemed to vibrate with the king of the jungle's loud snoring.

The mouse tried to creep out as stealthily as he could. Soon he was near the entrance. But when he tried to cross the lion, his little tail grazed the left leg of the king of the jungle, and the lord of the jungle awoke with a start. His anger was seen when he saw a small mouse in his nest.

Even though he was afraid that the mouse wouldn't lose his mind, he immediately ran. But unfortunately, the lion was soon able to catch him. The king of the jungle opened his jaw to swallow the little mouse's body.

The little mouse immediately screamed." Sorry, O King, I didn't mean to wake you up, I was just trying to leave this cave where I've been curious to see. Please let me go this time, and I will never forget your kindness. If fate gives me a chance, I will help you in any way I can in one of these later."
