Example of Narrative Text 💁

The Lion and The Mouse 🦁🐭

One day a lion was resting in the forest. He was sleeping and leaning his body under a tree. Then a mouse ran toward the lion without seeing him asleep in front of him. He was bumping the lion’s face so hard that made him awake.

The lion woke up and mad at him, “Woaahhh, how dare you disturb my sleep?” Then the lion caught the mouse. “I’m sorry my king! I accidentally hit you! “He said. “I will eat you because you have wakened me up!” cried the lion.

“Please! Do not eat me my king; I will reply your kindness someday if you let me go!“ Beg the mouse. Hearing what was said by the mouse, the lion laugh out loud, “HHaaaa you will repay my kindness? How can a little creature like you can help me!” He said. Then He looked at the mouse who was frightened. “Well since you’ve made me laugh, I’ll let you go. Moreover, you cannot make me satisfied “said the Lion while releasing the mouse.

After he let him go, the mouse ran and said, “I will not forget your kindness. Thank you “. Then he was back into the forest. One day the lion was caught by hunter’s trap. He was trapped in a net installed by hunter. The lion was struggling trying to escape from the net. But all of his efforts were useless because the net was too strong. Then he was screaming for help “Please, save me!” the lion cried.

The mouse that was foraging in the forest heard lion’ screams. “That is lion. Seemed he is in trouble now. I have to help him “said the mouse. Soon afterward he went to lion. When he got there, he saw a lion that had trapped helpless in hunter’s nets. “Hey, do not be afraid, I’ll help you escape from this bondage” said the mouse. “What? You want to save me? Don’t be kidding “said the lion. Then the mouse was climbing to the top of the net and began biting rope nets one by one with his sharp teeth. The lion, who initially did not believe, surprised to see what he did.

After a while the ropes broken and the lion could get out of the entanglement nets, “Thank you! My little friend, you have freed me. I do not think you can do it “said the lion. “You are welcome my friend. I had promised to repay your kindness someday so I did it “replied the mouse. After that they were always together and became good friends in the forest.
