The Line and the Mouse
A line was awakened from sleep by a Mouse running over his face.Rising up angrily, he caught him and
was about to kill him, when the Mouse piteously entreated, saying: "If you would only spare my life,
I would be sure to repay your kindness." The Lion laughed and let him go. It happened shortly after
this that the Lion was caught by some hunters, who bound him by st ropes to the ground. The Mouse,
recognizing his roar, came gnawed the rope with his teeth, and set him free, exclaim"You ridiculed
the idea of my ever being able to help you,expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favor;
I now you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to con benefits on a Lion."
