单选题
A lion was sleeping in iris den(窝). A mouse ran
across his face and woke him up. The lion lost his temper, caught the mouse with
his paw, and was about to kill him. The mouse was terrified and begged the lion
to spare his life. "Please let me go, " he cried, " and one day I will repay you
for your kindness. " The idea of so tiny a creature ever being able to do
anything for him made the lion laugh aloud, and he let the mouse go.
But the mouse's chance came after all. One day the lion got tangled(绑)in
a net that had been spread by some hunters. The lion reared in anger, and the
mouse heard him. He ran to the spot and set to work. He gnawed(咬) the ropes with
his teeth and, before long, set the lion free. "There, " said the mouse, "you
laughed at me when I promised that I would repay you. Now you see that even a
little mouse can help a big lion."
