The Mouse and the Lion

Once, a little mouse was running through the forest. He ran right

onto a sleeping lion’s back. The lion woke up with a roar.

“You ruined my nap!” the lion growled. “I’ll have to eat you.” The

lion grabbed the little mouse.

“Please don’t eat me,” the mouse squeaked. “Some day I will return

your kindness.”

The lion laughed so hard that the little mouse fell out of

his paw.

3.2 Fluency

A week later, the lion walked into a hunter’s trap!

The little mouse heard the lion roaring. He ran onto the lion’s back

and began to chew the ropes. “Thank you, little mouse,” the lion said.

“I’ve learned that little friends can be great friends.”
