Once when a Lion (be) asleep a little Mouse began running up and down upon him; this soon (waken) the Lion, who (place) his huge paw upon him, and (open) his big jaws to (swallow) him. “Pardon, O King,” (cry) the little Mouse: “(forgive) me this time, I shall never forget it: who (know) but what I may be able to do you a turn some of these days?” The Lion was so (tickle) at the idea of the Mouse being able to (help) him, that he (lift) up his paw and let him go. Some time after the Lion (be) caught in a trap, and the hunters, who (desire) to (carry) him alive to the King, (tie) him to a tree while they went in search of a waggon to carry him on. Just then the little Mouse (happen) to pass by, and seeing the sad plight in which the Lion (be) , sent up to him and soon (gnaw) away the ropes that bound the King of the Beasts. “Was I not right?” said the little Mouse.
"Little Friends may (prove) great friends."
