The Lion and the Mouse Who Returned a Favor
狮子和老虎的故事
A cute baby mouse went on a picnic in the woods. At the same time, a lion was taking a nap in the warm sunlight. The baby mouse was alarmed to see the large lion taking a nap. 'Wow! Mr. Lion is bigger than I've heard!'
可爱的小老鼠正在树林里美美的野餐。这时，狮子在暖洋洋的阳光下打盹。小老鼠惊恐地看到那只打盹的狮子体型是如此庞大。“哇哦，狮子先生比传说中的还要大！”
While gazing at the lion, the baby mouse happened to step on the lion's paw. Instantly, the lion opened his eyes and glared at the mouse. "What fool stepped on my foot?" Scared to death, the baby mouse shivered.
在盯着狮子看的时候，小老鼠不小心踩到了狮子的爪子。狮子立刻睁开了眼睛瞪着老鼠。“你这个傻子，居然敢踩我的脚？”小老鼠吓得浑身颤抖。
"Mr. Lion, please forgive me." begged the baby mouse. However, the lion was very displeased that the little mouse stepped on his foot. "I'm sorry. Please, forgive me. If you spare my life, I will return a favor," said the mouse. "Huh! How can such a little creature like you return my favor?" snorted the lion.
“狮子先生，请原谅我，”小老鼠说。但是，小老鼠踩了他的脚，狮子很是生气。“很抱歉，请原谅我吧。如果你饶了我的命，我会报答你的。”老鼠说。“哈！你这个小东西居然说报答我？”狮子很不屑。
The baby mouse mustered all his courage and said once again, "Mr. Lion, you will be in trouble someday and who knows who can help you?"
小老鼠鼓足勇气又一次说道：“狮子先生，很难保证你不会遇见麻烦，你又知道谁可以帮你呢？”
The lion was impressed by the little mouse's courage and said, "Well, well, well! Since I appreciate your courage, I'll forgive you. I will let you go." "Thank you, Mr. Lion!" The baby mouse hurriedly ran a way.
小老鼠不凡的勇气给狮子留下了深刻的印象，于是狮子说：“好吧，好吧，好吧！因为我佩服你的勇气，我才原谅你。你走吧。”“谢谢你，狮子先生！”小老鼠匆匆地跑开了。
