A Lion lay asleep in the forest, his great head resting on his paws. A timid little Mouse came upon him unexpectedly, and in her fright and haste to get away, ran across the Lion's nose.
Seekor Singa berbaring tertidur di hutan, kepalanya yang besar bertumpu pada cakarnya. Tikus kecil yang penakut tiba-tiba datang kepadanya, dan dalam ketakutan dan tergesa-gesa untuk melarikan diri, berlari melintasi hidung Sang Singa.
Roused from his nap, the Lion laid his huge paw angrily on the tiny creature to kill her.
"Spare me!" begged the poor Mouse. "Please let me go and some day I will surely repay you."
Terbangun dari tidurnya, Singa meletakkan cakar besarnya dengan marah pada makhluk kecil itu untuk membunuhnya.
"Lepaskan aku!" pinta Tikus yang malang. "Tolong biarkan aku pergi dan suatu hari aku pasti akan membalasmu."
The Lion was much amused to think that a Mouse could ever help him. But he was generous and finally let the Mouse go.
Sang Singa merasa lucu berpikir bahwa Tikus bisa membantunya. Tapi dia murah hati dan akhirnya membiarkan Tikus pun pergi.
Some days later, while stalking his prey in the forest, the Lion was caught in the toils of a hunter's net.
Beberapa hari kemudian, saat mengintai mangsanya di hutan, Singa terjerat jaring pemburu.
Unable to free himself, he filled the forest with his angry roaring. The Mouse knew the voice and quickly found the Lion struggling in the net.
Tidak dapat membebaskan dirinya, dia memenuhi hutan dengan aumannya yang marah. Tikus tahu suara itu dan dengan cepat menemukan Singa kepayahan di jaring.
Running to one of the great ropes that bound him, she gnawed it until it parted, and soon the Lion was free.
Berlari ke salah satu tali besar yang mengikatnya, dia menggerogotinya sampai terlepas, dan segera Singa itu pun bebas.
"You laughed when I said I would repay you," said the Mouse. "Now you see that even a Mouse can help a Lion."
"Kamu tertawa ketika aku berkata aku akan membalasmu," kata Tikus. "Sekarang kamu lihat bahwa bahkan Tikus pun dapat membantu seekor Singa."
