SMALL THINGS DO BIG JOBS
It was a hot summer day. Sun was shining bright up in the sky. A lion was sitting
under the shade of a big tree and in some time got asleep. Nearby that tree, there
was a hole, in which there lived a mouse. When the lion was sleeping, the mouse
came out of its hole and saw him asleep.
Unaware of the lion's strength, it got tickled by an idea. It thought of waking up the
lion by running over his body just for fun.
Unfortunately, the lion seized it in his strong paw. He was going to kill it when it
begged, "Spare me, sir; some day I may repay your mercy."
The lion was amused hearing it's words and let it go with a smile thinking that how
can such a small mouse be of any help to me.
But a day came, when the lion got into trouble. He got caught in a hunter's net
under that very tree. As a result, he started roaring loudly.
On hearing his roar, the mouse came out of its hole. This was the time to pay back
the lion's mercy. So, immediately it nibbled the cords of the net and set the lion
free.
Remember, mercy never goes unrewarded.
