Neetu became a little bold. He wanted to have some fun. He ran up Sheru’s back. Sherustill didn’t get up. Oh, this was great fun!

Neetu became even more bold and danced on Sheru’s head.
Sheru got up with a loud roar. He was very angry.
He caught Neetu with his paws.

Neetuwas very scared. He said in a small voice, “King Sheru, I am sorry. Please don’t eat me. I was only playing. Please let me go. I shall always be your friend. Maybe one day I can help you.”

Sherulaughed. He said, “You are so small. How can you ever help a big lion like me?” Sheru thought, “Anyway this mouse is too small to eat.
I am also full. I will let him go.” So Sheru put down Neetu....
