A lion, faint with heat and weary with hunting, was lying down to take his
repose under the spreading bows of a thick shady oak. It happened that, while 
he slept, a company of quarreling mice ran over his nose and waked him; upon which,
starting up, he clapped his paw upon one of them and was just about to put
it to death, when the little suppliant implored his mercy in a very moving 
manner, begging him not to stain his noble character with the blood of a despicable and
small beast. The lion considering the matter, thought proper to do as he was
desired and immediately released his little trembling prisoner. Not long after, traversing
the forest in pursuit of his prey, he chanced to run into the toils of the hunters,
from whence, not able to disengage himself, he set up a most hideous and loud
roar. The mouse hearing the voice, and knowing it to be the lion's, immediately
repaired to the place and bid him fear nothing, for that he was his friend.
Then straight he fell to work, and with his little sharp teeth gnawing asunder the knots
ad fastenings of the toils, set the royal brute at liberty.
