A Lion and A Mouse
Translated by: Khidir M.Yazir/ Kid Haider

Once upon a time in a forest, a lion was peacefully napping. Nearby, a mouse was happily chasing a butterfly. The mouse's playful antics disturbed the king of the jungle, making him very angry and ready to pounce on the tiny creature. The mouse, sensing danger, tried to run away. But then, out of nowhere, a rat spoke up and said, "If you let me go, I will always remember your kindness for the rest of my days." Surprisingly, the lion agreed and set the mouse free.

    A few days later, the lion found itself trapped in a hunter's snare, roaring in distress. The mouse, remembering the lion's act of mercy, came to the rescue and gnawed through the net, setting the lion free. Grateful for the mouse's help, the lion said, "If you hadn't come to my aid, I would have been done for. From now on, we're pals." And so, the lion and the mouse became unlikely friends, proving that keeping promises is important in any relationship.

    The moral of the story? Always remember to keep your word, no matter how big or small the promise may be.
