A big lion lets a small mouse go. Later, the mouse gets to help. An old fable in the fewest words.
A lion naps.
A mouse comes.
Hop, hop, hop!
The lion wakes up.
"Please, let me go!"
"I can help you."
The lion laughs.
"You? So small!"
But he lets go.
Then, zip! A net!
The lion is stuck.
The mouse runs up.
Nibble, nibble, nibble!
The net falls.
"Thank you, mouse!"
