One day a lion was sleeping under the sun. Suddenly he felt something on his face. Then a small mouse fell to the ground.
"I will kill you for waking me up! " the angry lion said.
"I'm sorry. Please let me go. I have a big family to feed." said the mouse.
"You are of no use to anybody. You are even too small to eat!" the lion said.
"No one's size tells the value of his life," the mouse said. " But I'll make you a promise. If you let me go, one day I will repay you."
The lion laughed, "It's impossible for a mouse to save a lion's life. But go and feed your children and never show your face again." The mouse left quickly. After that, he decided to keep his promise.
One day, hunters caught the lion and put him in a cage. The lion lay there sadly. Suddenly, he saw a small mouse outside the cage. The lion recognized the mouse as the same one he had almost killed a long time ago. Without a word, the mouse began to work, and during the night, he bit through the cage. The lion ran into a forest safely. Before he left, he looked at the tired mouse and said quietly, "I will remember your help, and lions will no longer kill mice as long as I am alive." And so it was I from that day on.
Don't judge a person by his size or appearance. Everyone has his own value.
