Narrator: In a sunny meadow, there lived a mighty lion and a tiny mouse. One day, the lion was napping, and the curious mouse began to explore.
(Mouse enters, looking around)
Mouse: (whispering) What a big, strong lion! I wonder if he'll notice me.
Narrator: As the mouse tiptoed near the lion, it accidentally stepped on the lion's tail.
(Lion wakes up, looking annoyed)
Lion: Who dares to disturb my nap?
Mouse: (nervously) I'm sorry, Mr. Lion. I didn't mean to wake you. I'm just a tiny mouse.
Narrator: The lion, amused by the tiny creature, decided not to harm it and let it go.
(Lion and Mouse dialogue)
Lion: You're lucky I'm in a good mood today. I'll spare you. Now, run along, little mouse.
Mouse: Thank you, Mr. Lion! If you ever need help, I promise to repay your kindness.
Narrator: The lion chuckled at the thought but didn't take the mouse seriously. However, fate had other plans.
