The lion and the mouse 사자와 생쥐, 이솝우화
A Lion asleep in his lair was waked by a Mouse running over his face. The Lion seized it and was about to kill it.
The Mouse begged for its life. "Please let me go," it cried, "and one day I will repay your kindness."
The idea of so small a creature ever doing anything for him amused the Lion so much that he laughed and let it go.
But the Mouse's chance came, after all. One day the Lion got entangled in a net which had been spread by some
hunters; the Mouse recognized his roars and ran to the spot.
It set to work to gnaw the ropes, and succeeded in setting the Lion free. "There!" said the Mouse, "You laughed
at me when I promised I would repay you: now you see, even a Mouse can help a Lion!"
No good deed goes unrewarded.
