The Lion and The Mouse

Once when a lion was asleep, a little mouse began running up and down upon him; this soon awoke the

little mouse,” Forgive me this time, I shall never forget it; perhaps I may be able to do you a good turn some of
these days.”

dioxide from the air and water from the soil are also absorbed by the plant. Using the energy from sunlight,
plants convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. Glucose is used by the plant as energy for
growth and maintenance, while oxygen is released into the atmosphere as a by product."
