An unfortunate mouse accidentally happens to run into a lion. In a reversal of fortune, the lion decides to release the mouse without causing any harm. When hunters later trap the lion with a large net, the mouse returns to offer assistance. The mouse chews through the net constraining the lion and subsequently frees him from the hunters’ assault. After this encounter, the lion and the mouse gaze at each other with an understanding that friendship can be found in the most unlikely of places.The theme that this story follows is weak vs. strong, obviously the mouse being the weak one, and the lion being the strong one in this situation. The plot is a reminder that the manner in which we treat others is how we will be treated in return. As we would assume the lion which is the first character would be the one to eat. One should always be kind to others as you never know when you will require their kindness. The setting is in the jungle. Theme is innocent vs. wise. Lion could have easily eaten the mouse, but instead lets him live. In return the mouse repays the deed. Characters are the lion who is wise, innocent mouse, and motif would be the hunters.
