The Lion and the Mouse
It was a very hot day in the jungle. Simba, the lion was tired and very hungry. He made a decision to eat a big meal after his sleep. He felt fast asleep underneath a shady tree. Meanwhile, Pintu the mouse was playing nearby. He was having a lot of fun jumping and leaping around. He suddenly saw Simba's tail. “Oh! Look at this,” said the mouse. He climbed up the tail and then ran across his back. Simba, however, was still fast asleep.
“Yippee!” squeaked Pintu. “This is so much fun”, Pintu said and then climbed onto Simba's head. He started dancing there and squeaking in delight. This squeaking …show more content…
They had laid nets to drag animals. Sadly Simba got caught in one of those nets. He brayed loudly with anger. Pintu heard him shout. “ My friend Simba is into trouble, I must help him,” he said. Pintu scurried to the net. Seeing Simba caught in the net, Pintu quickly began biting the net with his sharp teeth. Soon there was a huge hole in the net. Simba was able to step out through the hole.

However, I concealed my amusement and said to him “If you are going to the supermarket can you get me a few things?”. “Sure,” he said. I then gave him a long list saying thanks a lot. Please get a new shaving gel, a pair of scissors and today's newspaper for my father. A soft drink and some fries for my mother. A pen, a pencil, an eraser for my brother, and a notebook for me. I told him that I'd pay him after he gets me the things. Jimmy said, “Ok, I'll get you the things within half an hour.” As he was leaving, I smiled looking at him knowing very well that he'd forget half of the things I asked him to
