"Pardon, O King!", "Forgive me this time. I shall never repeat it and I shall never forget your kindness. And who knows, but I may be able to do you a good turn one of these days?"

The Lion laughed at the idea of the Mouse being able to help him, that he lifted up his paw and let him go.

Some days later, a  hunter captured the Lion with a net and went in search of a wagon to carry him away.

Just then the little Mouse happened to pass by, and seeing the state if the Lion, he ran up to him.

The mouse said "O King! Do not worry. I will Help you!"
