The Lion and the Mouse

One day a lion was sleeping when a little mouse came along and ran up and down over his face.

This awakened the lion and made him very angry. He put his paw over the mouse and said, "What do you mean by waking me? You shall pay for this," and he opened his big mouth to swallow the mouse.

"Oh, do not kill me, Mr. Lion!" squealed the mouse. "I did not mean to wake you. Please, let me go and I will never trouble you again."

"No, I will not let you go," roared the lion.

"Please do," cried the frightened mouse. "If you let me go perhaps I can do something for you sometime."

This made the lion laugh. "You do something for me," he said. "What a joke! Well; you are such a cute little fellow that I will let you go this time, but never let me see you about here again." He lifted his paw.

As the little mouse scampered off, he said, "Thank you, kind Lion, I shall not forget your kindness."

Sometime after this, the lion was caught in a trap. The hunters tied him to a tree then they went to get a wagon to carry him away.

The lion roared so loud that the ground shook. The little mouse heard him. "The lion is in trouble," he said. "I will see what I can do to help him," and he ran to the lion.

When the mouse saw that the lion was tied with ropes, he said, "Cheer up; Mr. Lion. Be quiet and I will set you free." He began gnawing the ropes. He worked hard, and at last, the lion was free.

17. How did the mouse free from the lion's paw? 
A. The hunters caught the lion and tied him. 
B. The mouse cried and promised the lion that he will help him someday. 
C. The mouse ran up and down.

Well; you are such a cute little fellow that I will let you go this time, but never let me see you about here again." He lifted his paw."

"Tolong lepaskan," tangis si tikus yang ketakutan. "Jika kau melepaskanku, mungkin aku bisa melakukan sesuatu untukmu kapan-kapan." Ini membuat singa tertawa. "Kau melakukan sesuatu untukku," katanya. "Lelucon yang luar biasa! Yah; kamu adalah anak kecil yang lucu sehingga aku akan membiarkanmu pergi kali ini, tetapi jangan pernah biarkan aku melihatmu di sini lagi." Dia mengangkat cakarnya.
