A LION who had caught a Mouse was about to kill him, when the Mouse
said:

"If you will spare my life, I will do as much for you some day."

The Lion, good-naturedly let him go. It happened shortly
afterwards that the Lion was caught by some hunters and bound with
cords. The Mouse, passing that way, and seeing that his benefactor¹
was helpless, gnawed² off his tail.
