Narrative Quiz 1

 

There was once a mouse traveling through the forest. Before he knew it was trolling over the paws of a sleeping lion. The lion woke up and grabbed the mouse in his sharp claws.

   “Please don’t eat me!” begged the mouse. “I’ll never bother you again. And who knows? May be able to do you a good turn one day.”

   The lion laughed, “you’re too small to help a big lion! But I like your spirit. Run along now, and stay out of trouble in the future.” The grateful mouse scampered off.

Sometime later, the lion ran into a trap and found himself caught in a strong net. The more he struggled the tighter the rope became. Soon the poor lion lay completely helpless.

Suddenly he heard a little voice. “Can I help you?” it was the mouse.

The lion shook his head sadly. “I’m afraid the hunters will be along soon. That will be the end of me.”

“No, it won't,” said the mouse. He started chewing through the rope. Bit by bit the net fell off, and at last, the lion was free.

“How can I thank you?” asked the lion/

“one good turn deserves another,” replied the mouse. “But just remember, size isn’t everything.”
