A Sleeping Lion

Once upon a time, in the tall grass of the savanna, a mighty lion lay fast asleep in the warm afternoon sun.

He was the biggest, strongest animal for miles around, and every creature in the savanna knew to tread carefully near him.

Nearby, a tiny mouse was busy scurrying through the grass, looking for seeds, not paying attention to where her little paws were taking her.
