THE LION AND THE MOUSE

A Lion lay asleep in the forest, his great head resting on his paws. A timid little Mouse came upon him
unexpectedly, and in her fright and haste to get away, ran across the Lion's nose. Roused from his nap, the
Lion laid his huge paw angrily on the tiny creature to kill her.

"Spare me!" begged the poor Mouse. "Please let me go and some day I will surely repay you."

The Lion was much amused to think that a Mouse could ever help him. But he was generous and finally
let the Mouse go.

Some days later, while stalking his prey in the forest, the Lion was caught in the toils of a hunter's net.
Unable to free himself, he filled the forest with his angry roaring. The Mouse knew the voice and quickly
found the Lion struggling in the net. Running to one of the great ropes that bound him, she gnawed it until
it parted, and soon 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."

Ali Baba, a poor woodcutter was in the forest when he saw forty thieves stop in front of a cave.
The leader said “Open Sesame!” and before Ali Baba’s amazed eyes the sealed mouth of the cave
magically opened and the men disappeared inside. To come out and close the entrance, the leader said
“Close Sesame” and the cave sealed itself once more. Trembling with excitement Ali Baba waited till the
thieves had left and then entered the cave after saying the magic words. To his delight he found lots of
treasure.
Ali Baba told his brother Kasim about the wondrous cave. Kasim set off to get some treasure for himself
too. Sadly, he forgot the words to leave the cave and the thieves killed him. Ali Baba discovered his
brother’s body in the cave. With the help of a slave girl called Morgiana, he was able to take Kasim’s
body back home and bury it.
Realising that someone else knew about their cave the thieves tracked Ali Baba down. The leader,
disguised as an oil seller stayed with Ali Baba. He had brought along mules loaded with forty oil jars
containing the other thieves. Clever Morgiana knew who the oil seller really was and poured boiling oil
into the jars killing the other thieves. While dancing in front of the leader of the thieves Morgiana stabbed
him. Ali Baba was saved and lived happily ever after.
