- Abstract
- en_US True to this series, this retold version of LM is funny. The fun starts when the lion, having had a lovely meal and being sleepy, "put in his earbuds and put on some music." A mouse was skittering up a hill, but, alas, "she didn't know the hill was actually a lion." The lion has been dreaming of steak, and he sees the mouse as his steak when he is awakened. This mouse offers to entertain the lion as an example of what mice can do. Then the mouse plays the comedian. When that also does not work, the mouse says that he can do something for the lion – and that statement makes the lion laugh! When the mouse asks the netted lion if he needs some help, the lion's answer is "Duh." The fable ends with the lion asking the mouse to turn on the music: "Let's dance!" I agree that this version would appeal to children of age 8 to 12. As 18 declares, "This version of the story is different from the original. It has jokes and silly images. But the moral stayed the same." That moral is "A kindness is never wasted." The questions on 23 may provoke good reflection.
