One day, a big lion with a rich, golden mane went for a walk in the forest. He was very big and strong. When he walked, his big paws made loud sounds on the ground. The lion liked to roar very loud. All the animals in the forest were scared of the lion's roar.
The lion met a little mouse. The mouse said, "Why do you roar so loud? It scares all of us!" The lion laughed and said, "I roar loud because I am strong and big. I am not scared of anything!" The mouse looked at the lion and said, "I am small, but I am not scared of you."
Just then, the sky turned dark and lightning lit up the sky. The lion was scared of the lightning. He hid behind a tree and started to cry. The little mouse saw the lion cry and said, "See, even you can be scared. We all get scared sometimes." The lion looked at the mouse and nodded his head.
The lion and the mouse started to walk back to their homes. But the lightning did not stop. It came closer and closer. Suddenly, a big tree fell on the lion. The little mouse tried to help, but he was too small. The lion was hurt and could not get up. The mouse felt sad for the lion, but he could not do anything. The lion had to stay under the tree and the mouse went back to his home.
