Once there was a mouse and as he was scampering home, he saw a lion sleeping in a clearing, and so, for some odd reason, he decided it would be fun to run all over the lion and of course the lion soon awakened and trapped him under a mammoth paw.  But just as he was about to snap up the mouse,  the mouse pleaded, “Please King Lion, forgive me this once and I’ll never forget it; I might even be able to do you a good turn someday.”  So the lion, deeply amused by the notion that a mouse could help him, let the mouse go.  Soon after the incident, the lion was trapped by hunters and snagged in a net.  The mouse, hearing the lion’s frightful roars, stopped to see what was the matter; when he saw what had happened he resolved to gnaw through the net and, after a while, freed the lion.  The lion was very grateful, and the two remained lifelong friends.
