The lion and mouse

"Please help me," said the lion. "How can I help you?" said the mouse. "You are much smaller than me. "You can climb inside this net," said the lion. "And your little teeth are sharper. You can cut the rope." So the mouse climbed inside the net and chewed and chewed the tough rope. Soon the lion was free. "Thank you, "said the lion.
