Question

    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 from that day on.

Don't judge a person by his size or appearance . Everyone has his own value.
