The lion fell asleep and a mouse jumped on him. The lion suddenly stood up, grabbed him and prepared to eat him. The mouse begged for mercy and said that if he saved his life, he would repay him. The lion smiled contemptuously and let him go. Soon, the lion was really saved by the mouse. It turned out that the lion was captured by hunters and tied to a tree with a rope.
