I shall return your kindness."" Ha, ha, ha," laughed the lion. " How can a little thing like you help a great lion?" " Thank you very much, kind Lion! I hope I shall be able to do you a good return some day," said the little mouse. Some time after this, the lion was caughtin a trap. Just then the little mouse came along. At once she ran up to the lion, and said, " You were very kind to me once. Now I'll save your life, and repay you the kindness which you showed me the other day." Soon she gnawed the ropes of the trap with her sharp teeth, and the lion was happy to be free again. " Thank you, little Mouse!" said the lion, and he walked away.从前有一只雄伟的狮子在树林里睡觉。

格林童话:狼和人Once upon a time the fox was talking to the wolf about the strengthof man, how no animal could withstand him, and how all were obliged to employ cunning in order to protect themselves from him.The wolf answered, "If I could see a man just once, I would attack him nonetheless." "I can help you to do that," said the fox. "Come to me early tomorrow morning, and I will show you one."The wolf arrived on time, and the fox took him out to the path which the huntsman used every day. First an old discharged soldier came by."Is that a man?" asked the wolf."No," answered the fox. "He has been one."Afterwards came a little boy on his way to school."Is that a man?""No, he will yet become one."Finally a huntsman came by with his double-barreled gun on his back, and a sword at his side.The fox said to the wolf, "Look, there comes a man. He is the one you must attack, but I am going back to my den."The wolf then charged at the man.When the huntsman saw him he said, "Too badthat I have not loaded with a bullet." Then he aimed and fired a load of shot into his face.The wolf pulled an awful face, but did not let himself be frightened, and attacked him again, on which the huntsman gave him the second barrel. The wolf swallowed his pain and charged at the huntsman again, who in turn drew out his naked sword, and gave him a few blows with it left and right, so that, bleeding all over, he ran howling back to the fox."Well," Brother Wolf, said the fox, "how did you get along with man?""Oh," replied the wolf, "I never imagined the strength of man to be what it is. First, he took a stick from his shoulder, and blew into it, and then something flew into my face which tickled me terribly. Then he breathed once more into the stick, and it flew up my nose like lightning and hail. Then when I got next to him, he drew a naked rib out of his body, and he beat me so with it that he almost killed me.""See what a braggart you are," said the fox. "You throw your hatchet so far that you cannot get it back again."从前有只狐狸向狼谈起人的力量，说没有动物能抵挡得了，所以他认为所有动物都必须施展计谋才能保护自己。
