The story
A big lion lives here.
The lion sleeps. Zzz!
A mouse runs happily.
Oops! He steps on the lion’s tail.
“Sorry, lion,” says the mouse.
The lion laughs. Ha, ha!
Oh, no! A net traps the lion.
The lion roars sadly. Grrr!
The mouse hears the lion.
The mouse bites the net. Nom!
Crack! The net breaks.
Now they are friends forever!
Nobody is too small to help, and a kindness always comes back.
