SCRIPT:
Narrator: Once upon a time a Lion was taking a nap, when a little Mouse began running up and down upon him; this soon woke up the Lion, who placed his huge paw upon him, and opened his big jaws to swallow him.
Mouse: I am sorry, O King, forgive me this time, I will never forget it. I promise to do something for you in return some of these days.
Lion: Ha, ha, ha, yeah sure! You can go.
Narrator: A few days later, some hunters caught the king of the jungle.
Hunter 1: Hey, look what we got here! This lion is so big and strong. Let´s take him to our king.
Hunter 2: Yes, but let`s tie him first to that tree while we go to get a wagon to carry him on.
Narrator: Just then the little Mouse was passing by.
Mouse: Da, da, da, Oh, what do we have here? It´s my friend, the lion.
Lion: It`s me, help me please before the hunters come back.
Mouse: I will. I haven`t forgotten the promise I made to you one day.
Narrator: So the mouse started eating the ropes.
Mouse: You are free now. A few days ago you laughed thinking that I couldn`t do something for you in return for what you did for me. Now it is time that you know that little mice are grateful and keep their promises.
Lion: I am sorry, my friend. Thank you for what you did for me now. I will never laugh at the promises made by the little ones, I know that when the time comes, they will not forget them.
