Lion and Mouse

Lion and Mouse 

Once upon a time, there lived a lion in a forest. One day, after a heavy meal, it was sleeping under a tree. After a while, there came a mouse and it started to play on the lion. Suddenly the lion got up with anger and looked for those who disturbed its nice sleep. Then it saw a small mouse standing trembling with fear. The lion jumped on it and started to kill it. The mouse begged the lion to forgive it. The lion felt pity and left it. The mouse ran away. On another day, the lion was caught in a net by a hunter. The mouse came there and cut the net. So the lion escaped. Thereafter, the mouse and the lion became friends. They lived happily in the forest afterwards.

Elephant and Friends

One day an elephant walked into a forest looking for friends. He saw a monkey on a tree. “Will you be my friend?" asked the elephant. “You are too big. You cannot swing from trees like me." replied the monkey. Next, the elephant met a rabbit. He asked him to be his friend. But the rabbit said, “You are too big to play in my burrow!" Then the elephant met a frog. “Will you be my friend? He asked. “How can I?" asked the frog. “You are too big to jump about like me." The elephant was upset. He met a fox next. “Will you be my friend?" he asked the fox. The fox said, “Sorry, sir, you are too big." The next day, the elephant saw all the animals in the forest running for their lives. The elephant asked them what the matter was. The bear replied, “There is a tiger in the forest. He’s trying to eat us all up!" The animals all ran away to hide. The elephant wondered what he could do to save everyone in the forest. The elephant walked up to the tiger and said, “Please, Mr Tiger, do not eat up these poor animals." “Mind your own business!" growled the tiger. The elephant had no choice but to kick the tiger. The frightened tiger ran for his life. The elephant went back into the forest to announce the good news to everyone. All the animals thanked the elephant. They said, “You are just the right size to be our friend."
