Lions are known as the strong and impressive king of the jungle, while mice are small, timid animals who like to hide in tree trunks or under piles of dry wood. In the wilderness, Lions are greatly feared by all creatures because of their large bodies and thunderous voices, making other animals afraid. Lions are very arrogant animals, lions also feel stronger and more arrogant, they feel like the main ruler in the forest, their daily lives are spent hunting and sleeping. Half of the day is spent hunting small animals, while the other half is spent sleeping in a cave.

One day, when the Lion went out again waiting for the hunt to pass by and the lion left his nest where he took shelter, there were some mice who were curious about the cave where the lion took shelter, they decided to explore the Lion's cave. Not long after that the mice moved to the lion's nest, as soon as the mice arrived and entered the cave, the lion had just come home and was fast asleep. The mice who were afraid because the Lion had come home immediately looked for a hiding place. The Lion's loud snoring made the mice know that the Lion was sleeping soundly, so they felt this was an opportunity to escape out of that place. However, when the mouse tried to get out, a mouse stepped on the lion's foot who was sleeping soundly, the lion woke up from bed. Then, the lion who suddenly woke up immediately felt the presence of an uninvited guest and the lion immediately found out what animal dared to enter my shelter. After turning his head to the right and left, the lion saw the mice nearby, the lion did not waste the opportunity, the lion immediately grabbed it, intending in his heart to be a dinner tonight. However, the mouse who was very scared then cried and begged the lion to be let live. He offered several deals, one of which was if the lion let the mouse live, the mice would help the lion in the future. The lion who listened to the mouse's words then the lion laughed out loud, how could you help me in the future, while you are an animal that has a small body, the lion considered the mouse's offer unreasonable, but finally the lion let the mice go. The mice who were free immediately ran away and returned to where the mice lived, the mice were very grateful to the lion who let them go and be free, on the way to where they lived, the mouse king called on the mice to repay the lion's kindness by any means. Some time later, when the lion was hunting, his leg was caught in a hunter's trap, the lion who was very panicked and sick did not know how to escape from the hunter's trap.

The lion tried his best but could not escape from the net, then he roared for help, but all the animals were very afraid of the lion's roar. The sound of the lion's roar was heard by a herd of mice, the king ordered the mice to find out, the herd of mice immediately ran as fast as they could towards the source of the lion's sound. Seeing the lion being trapped, the mice immediately bit the trap rope. Patiently the trap ropes were broken one by one by the bites of the mice so that all the ropes were broken and the lion finally came out and was free. The lion was very grateful to the herd of mice for saving him without your help, I might have been taken by the hunter, the lion was touched by the courage of the mice who helped him when the others were afraid to approach.

The mice explained that this was a return of kindness because you had freed us in the cave where you took shelter. Hearing this, the lion felt very touched and acknowledged the kindness of the mice. From then on and now, the lion and the mouse have become close friends. The lion's nature, which used to be arrogant, has changed to being friendlier and more friendly.
