Intermediate Spanish Story An Unlikely Hero
One day, a lion was going for a walk through the jungle when he started to feel tired.
It was a hot day so he thought he would escape the heat and take a rest under a large tree.
As he slept with his great head resting on his paws, a timid little mouse came upon him unexpectedly.
She tried to be careful and to not make a noise.
In her fright and rush to get away, her tail accidentally tickled the lion’s nose.
Woken from his nap, the lion laid his huge paw on the tiny creature to kill her.
“Spare me!” begged the poor mouse. “Please, let me go and someday I will surely repay you.”
“How could you ever help me?” asked the lion in a very deep and powerful voice. “I am the king of the jungle.”
“Yes, I know you are the king,” replied the mouse in a shaky voice, “but I always keep my word, and if you spare me, I shall repay you one day. Plus, I am so small I am not even a snack for you.”
The lion thought it was funny that a mouse could ever help him. Finally, he was generous and let the mouse go.
Some days later, while stalking his prey in the jungle, the lion got caught in a hunter’s net. Unable to free himself, he filled the jungle with his angry roaring.
The mouse knew the voice and quickly found the lion struggling in the net.
She ran to one of the big ropes and chewed on it. Before long, the rope broke and the lion was free.
“You laughed when I said I would repay you,” said the mouse. “Now you see that even a mouse can help a lion.”
– A kindness is never wasted.
