A 原典品读
A mouse ran across the face of a sleeping lion and woke him up. The lion was very angry. He put out his paw and caught the mouse.
"You woke me up," he said. "I will eat you."
"Please don't," the mouse said. "If you let me go, I promise(承诺) I will help you one day."
The lion laughed. He couldn't think how a small mouse could ever help him, but he said, "Very well. I'll let you go this time. But don't wake me up again."
A year passed. The lion fell into a hole dug by a hunter. The hunter then tied him up with ropes. The lion tried to get away, but he could not.
The mouse heard the lion and ran to see what was wrong. He saw the lion tied up with ropes. The lion could not move.
He was crying.
The mouse spoke to the lion, "Do you remember me? You set me free a year ago. Now I can return the favour."
The mouse began to chew through the rope with his teeth. The lion got out of the rope, and climbed out of the hole. He was free!
