In the jungle, where the sun gleams bright, Lived a lion, strong and bold, with all his might. But one fine day, a little mouse crossed his way, An unlikely friendship began that day. The lion roared, prepared to pounce and chase, But the tiny mouse pleaded, with worry on her face. "Oh mighty lion, please don't harm me today, I promise, one day I'll repay your favor, I say!"
The lion laughed, amused by this fragile little creature, He let the mouse go, filled with friendship's feature. Months passed, and one day in the lion's great lair, He got caught in a hunter's trap, unaware. His mighty roars echoed through the dense wood, Until the tiny mouse heard it, understood. She rushed to the rescue, with a heart so kind, Nibbled through the ropes, leaving no trace behind.
"You saved me, dear mouse, my perfect friend, Never did I think such a bond we would transcend. Though small you may be, your heart is so vast, In gratitude, in your honor, forever it will last." From that day on, the lion and the mouse were best friends, Their story of unbreakable friendship never ends. No matter in size or strength, friendship is what counts, Finding hope, love, and trust to truly surmount.
So remember this tale, my little friend so dear, In friendship's embrace, there's nothing to fear. Find a companion, big or small, don't let it slide, For in true friendship, you'll happily abide.
