Summary: This is a beautiful picture book about a lion and a mouse. The mouse wakes the lion up during his sleep and instead of eating the mouse, the lion lets him go. Then when the lion is caught in a rope trap, the mouse returns and chews through the rope setting him free and repaying the lions good deed. This book can be used in the classroom to teach students this concept, do something nice for others and something nice will happen for you.
