One day, a lion was very hungry. He saw a zebra near a lake and wanted to eat it. He ran fast and jumped on the zebra. But the zebra was not weak. He kicked the lion with his legs and ran away. The lion was hurt and angry.
He saw a monkey on a tree and wanted to eat it. He climbed the tree and tried to catch the monkey. But the monkey was not weak. He threw a banana at the lion and swung to another tree. The lion fell down and was more hurt and angry.
He saw a turtle on the grass and wanted to eat it. He walked slowly and bit the turtle. But the turtle was not weak. He hid in his shell and the lion could not open it. The lion was very hurt and very angry.
He saw a mouse on a rock and wanted to eat it. He crawled to the mouse and opened his mouth. But the mouse was not afraid. He said to the lion, "Why are you so mean? You are big and strong, but you are not happy. You should be kind and share with others. Then you will have friends and be happy."
The lion was surprised. He said, "But I am hungry and you are small and weak. I can eat you easily."
The mouse said, "Maybe you can, but you should not. You should accept what you have and be grateful. Look, there is a staff of honey on that bush. You can eat that and be sweet. And I can help you with your wounds and be your friend."
The lion thought for a moment. He said, "You are right. I have been greedy and rude. I am sorry. I will accept the staff of honey and be sweet. And I will be your friend and be kind."
The mouse smiled and said, "That is good. Come, I will show you the staff of honey and help you with your wounds."
The lion and the mouse walked together to the bush. They ate the staff of honey and licked each other's wounds. They became friends and were happy.
The moral of the story is: You should accept what you have and be grateful. You should be kind and share with others. Then you will have friends and be happy.
