One day Mouse ran through the jungle and tripped over Lion's huge paws（爪子）．Lion woke up with a start．"How dare you wake me up!"he shouted angrily．Lion grabbed Mouse with one paw．"On the second thought，I'm in the mood for the snack，and you'll make a delicious meal．"he said．

When Mouse heard Lion's frightened shouts，he raced to help．Mouse quickly chewed （咬） through the ropes to make a hole in the net．Soon，Lion moved out and was free．Lion looked down at the little mouse．"Thank you for saving my life，"said Lion，smiling his widest smile．"I was mistaken．You are not a powerless little mouse．You are a great friend！"
