The Lion and the Mouse | 狮子与老鼠

English Original

A Lion caught a Mouse and was about to kill him. The Mouse pleaded, "If you spare my life, I will repay you one day." The Lion, amused by the idea, good-naturedly let him go.

Not long after, the Lion was captured by hunters and tied with strong ropes. The Mouse happened to pass by, saw his benefactor in distress, and immediately began to gnaw through the ropes, setting the Lion free.


中文翻译

一头狮子捉住了一只老鼠,正要杀死它。老鼠恳求道:“如果您饶我一命,将来我一定会报答您。”狮子觉得这个想法很有趣,便好心放走了老鼠。

不久之后,狮子被猎人捕获,用结实的绳子捆了起来。老鼠恰巧路过,看到它的恩人身陷困境,立刻开始啃咬绳子,最终咬断绳索,救出了狮子。
