Abstract
-
en_US
This book is delightfully pictured and cleverly written. The mouse, a busybody and a glutton. marched into the lion's den. "Being well mannered, he wiped his feet on the lion's mane." The lion asked him where he was going by addressing him as "Breakfast." The mouse said he was off to see his girlfriend. After the rescue, the lion was astonished. "I told you I'd return the favor," exclaimed the mouse. Later they met up again in a new chapter in this age-old story. The lion protected the mouse from the rain. The mouse asked "Another favor?" He said that he would have to do another favor for the lion, and then the lion another for him, and so on. "Enough!" the lion exclaimed. He was doing it, he explained, to keep the mouse from getting wet. "And that is how they began to be good to each other." These were then not favors, given with an expectation of getting something back. The two ended up living together. The lion declared that, looking at the mouse up close, he no longer found him ugly at all. Other mice joined them. "They lived together nicely the rest of their days." The lion walked through the bushes with the mouse sitting on his head. Pleasing, stylized illustrations.
