提 要

「患難見真情」，

在平時的相處中看不出來，

等到了大難臨頭，

平常稱兄道弟的朋友，

是只管自己，

還是同生共死，

真正的心意，

就赤裸裸的顯露出來了。

It was a beautiful bright day of winter,lion the king of jungle was sleeping on the soft grass-bed under the sun. By the time a little mouse came there and started playing, running and jumping here and there, the disturbing noise made by him woke up the lion, he saw the mouse and shouted, “You worthless tiny creature you dared to wake me up, I will kill you！"

The little mouse started shivering with fear and said in a weak and trembling voice, “Oh my king, please forgive me for this mistake, I didn’t notice that you were sleeping here, if you forgive me now I promise you that someday I will save your life.”

Lion laughed loudly, “ha-ha-ha you little mouse you are just good for nothing, you will save my life？This is the biggest joke I have ever heard in my life, I set you free because you made me laugh". The mouse thanked the lion for this.

After some days a lion hunter came into the forest and caught the lion in a net. Lion roared with anger but he soon realized that his anger couldn’t save him, he cried with pain！By chance the little mouse was passing by, hearded the lion's crying, went near the lion and said, "Don't worry my king, I will chew off the net and will get you out of it."

Soon the mouse chew off rope of the net and lion was out of it, grateful lion said to mouse,”Please forgive me my little friend, for what I said about you”.”Now I have understood that any creature whether it is small or big has its own importance, from now on you will always be my friend”.

一個明媚的冬日陽光下，「叢林之王」獅子在柔軟的草地上打瞌睡，突然蹦出一隻小老鼠，東玩玩、西跳跳，邊跑邊笑，但牠發出的聲音吵醒了獅子，「叢林之王」大聲喊：「你這這沒用的傢伙竟敢吵醒我的『美容覺』，我宰了你！」小老鼠嚇得渾身哆嗦，用顫抖的聲音說：「噢，我的國王，請原諒我的過錯，我沒有注意到你在這裡睡覺，如果你現在原諒我，我保證有一天，會救你一命。」

獅子放聲大笑：「哈哈，你這一點沒用的小老鼠，你會救我的命？這是我畢生聽過最大的笑話，我放你走，因為你讓我笑！」小老鼠感謝獅子饒命。

過了些日子，獵人到森林用網逮住獅子，獅子在網裡憤怒大吼，但很快就意識到，牠再憤怒也無濟於事，他痛苦地哭了。小老鼠經過聽到獅子的叫聲，靠近獅子說：「別擔心，國王！我會咬斷網繩，救你出來。」

網繩不久就被小老鼠咬斷，充滿感激的獅子對小老鼠說：「請原諒我，我的小朋友，為我所說的那些話，我現在明白，任何生物無論體型大小，都很重要。從現在開始，你是我永遠的朋友。」
