One day, a lion caught a mouse and was about to eat it. Just when the huge teeth were closing over the little mouse, the mouse squeaked, "Wait! If you allow me to live, I will one day do you a great favor." The lion laughed at the thought that a weak little mouse could ever aid the king of beasts. But since the lion was not too hungry, and since the mouse's suggestion amused him, the lion smiled and let his dinner go. Several days later, the lion was trapped in a great net laid down by hunters to trap him. The lion roared and struggled, but could not escape. Even his might could not break the bonds that held him. The mouse heard the lion's cries and ran to help. He gnawed at the net's ropes until they parted and the lion was free. As the lion stepped away from the broken net, he thought to himself that even a small mouse could do a big favor. What did the Lion learn in this story? a. He shouldn’t be so humble. b. He was not the king of beasts. c. He should be more careful of hunters. d. He should have more respect for small creatures.
What is d. He should have more respect for small creatures.
