ANALIZE THE
STORY
Story 1: The Lion and the Mouse
Story: Once upon a time, a lion was sleeping in the forest. A little mouse began running up and
down upon him. This soon woke the lion, who placed his huge paw on the mouse and opened his
big jaws to swallow him.
“Pardon, O King!” cried the little mouse. “Forgive me this time, I shall never forget it. Who knows
but what I may be able to do you a good turn some of these days?”
The lion was so amused at the idea of the mouse being able to help him, that he lifted his paw
and let him go.
Some time later, the lion was caught in a trap. The hunters, who desired to carry the lion alive to
the king, tied him to a tree while they went in search of a wagon to carry him on.
Just then the little mouse happened to pass by, and seeing the lion’s sad plight, went up to him
and soon gnawed away the ropes that bound the king of the beasts.
“Was I not right?” said the little mouse.

Story 2: The Tortoise and the Hare
Story: A hare was making fun of the tortoise one day for being so slow.
“Do you ever get anywhere?” he asked with a mocking laugh.
“Yes,” replied the tortoise, “and I get there sooner than you think. I'll run you a race and prove it.”
The hare was much amused at the idea of running a race with the tortoise, but for the fun of the
thing, he agreed. So the fox, who had consented to act as judge, marked the distance and started
the runners off.
The hare shot ahead and ran briskly for some time. Then, seeing that he was far ahead of the
tortoise, he lay down under a tree to take a nap.
The tortoise plodded on and plodded on, and when the hare awoke from his nap, he saw the
tortoise just near the winning post. The hare ran as fast as he could, but it was too late. The
tortoise had won the race.
