          THE LION AND THE CRICETIDAE
       XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
   Once upon a time,the king of the jungle,the mighty lion after lunching scrumptious flesh of a stag,was enjoying his afternoon zizz under the shade of a larch.It so happened that a cricetidae(mouse) emerged from nowhere.It started skipping and leaping over the paunch of the lion,sending the precious siesta of the lion to the limbo! The lion woke up and burbled with ferocious ire at the audacity of the tiny creature.He caught hold of the mouse and was about to throttle it when the mouse blubbered imploringly:
    "Your Majesty,have pity.I did it out of sheer ignorance.Please condone my faux pas.I may be of some help to you some day."
    The compassionate lion felt pity and set the mouse free with a warning.
Some days rolled by.One day some nimrods spread the net to trap a prey.Unfortunately the lion got entrapped in the net.He tried with full ferocity at his command to break the ropes of the net.But all his efforts proved abortive.So in sheer desperation he let out a thunderous yelp of pain and anguish.
 The echo of the lion's roar pierced through the ears of the cricetidae. He instantaneously leapt out of his hole and skedaddled forth to the site.With his canine like teeth,he tore to tatters the ropes of the net.The lion was free. He thanked the mouse profusely and rewarded him with a big slice of stag's flesh to nimble .
