Once upon a time, in a peaceful forest, lived a tiny mouse and a very large bear. As winter set in, the bear began his long hibernation, but he snored so loudly that the poor mouse couldn’t get any sleep for months. Desperate and exhausted, the mouse tried everything to wake the bear, including blowing a loud bugle right into his cave. Still, the bear slept on.
On the advice of his forest friends, the mouse decides to approach the mighty lion, the king of the forest, famous for his powerful roar. Though terrified, the mouse gathers his courage and visits the lion’s cave to ask for help. However, the lion, proud and dismissive, refuses to assist the “tiny and useless” mouse.
As the story unfolds, the mouse unexpectedly discovers the lion hiding and scratching himself uncontrollably. The regal beast is secretly suffering from a severe flea infestation. Seizing the opportunity to help, the mouse selflessly offers assistance, despite the lion’s earlier rudeness.
The little mouse carefully removes the fleas from the lion’s thick fur, even enduring being nearly crushed and drowned in the process. Eventually, the lion is relieved of his discomfort. Humbled by the mouse’s kindness, the lion apologizes and agrees to help him in return.
Together, they head to the bear’s cave. With a single earth-shaking roar, the lion finally wakes the bear. The forest bursts into laughter, the snoring stops, and the mouse can finally get the peaceful sleep he longed for.
