Manage episode 501042216 series 3683565
Ron narrates Aesop's classic fable "The Lion and the Mouse," illustrating how acts of mercy can return unexpected rewards. When a mighty lion spares a tiny mouse who promises to help him someday, the seemingly absurd promise becomes a life-saving reality.
• A sleeping lion is awakened by a mouse running across him
• The lion captures the mouse and prepares to eat him
• The mouse begs for mercy, promising to help the lion someday
• The lion laughs at this idea but releases the mouse anyway
• Later, hunters capture the lion and bind him with ropes
• The mouse finds the trapped lion and gnaws through the ropes, freeing him
• The mouse reminds the lion that "little friends may prove great friends"
