C. Lesson Purpose/Intention Read the story The Lion and the Mouse. Then, do the tasks assign to you.
Years and years ago, once there was a lion sleeping in the forest under a big tree. A mouse,
who lived in the forest too, started playing while moving up and down the lion’s body. She also
accidentally ran across the lion’s nose once. This soon awakened the lion, and he held the little
mouse in his paws. The mouse began to tremble as he knew that the lion was angry and could
kill him right there. "Pardon, O King!" pleaded the little mouse. "Forgive me this time. I shall
never repeat it, and I shall never forget your kindness. Who knows, I may be able to give you a
good turn one of these days!”
The lion was somehow in a good mood. Hence, he set the mouse free from his paws.
Yet he could not be more amused by the idea of how a tiny mouse could ever help
the king of the jungle. After a few days, the mouse suddenly heard the roar of the
lion. When she went to look at what’s the matter, she found out that the lion was
captured and trapped in a net by his prey. Seeing the lion in such a condition, she
immediately started gnawing the ropes of the net until it freed the lion. The lion
thanked the little mouse. But the mouse was happy that she could finally repay her
debt for sparing her life once. Since then, the lion and mouse became good friends.
