The lion and the mouse

Best old cartoon

Transcript

00:00Once upon a time, there was a great big lion.

00:28He was graceful, he was strong, and every time he roared, the jungle was gripped with

00:34terror.

00:50He was the king of beasts.

00:56Also in this jungle lived a tiny little mouse.

01:00He too was afraid of the great big lion.

01:07What shall I do?

01:08Where shall I go?

01:09Cried the little mouse, and filled with panic and fear, he sought refuge in an old cider

01:15jug.

01:16It seemed like a good place to hide, but was it?

01:42Filled with a false sense of values, the little mouse boldly approaches the lion.

02:10Now let us see what happens.

03:10What an unfortunate situation.

03:37Oh, please, Mr. Lion, spare my life, cried the little mouse, for someday I may be able

03:47to help you.

03:49The lion laughed.

03:50Ha, ha, ha, ha, how ridiculous, he thought, a little mouse help me, the king of beasts.

04:01But nevertheless, he let him go.

04:06Shortly after came the sound of barking dogs.

04:10The hunters were approaching.

04:17The lion, realizing his plight, fled for his life.

04:47How the mighty have fallen.

04:58Has the little mouse forgotten?

05:00Is he capable of keeping his promise?

05:03This looks like a job for a super mouse.

05:09With a powerful leap, he launches himself skyward.

05:12Uh-oh, try it again.

05:44So the lion and the mouse became lifelong friends.

06:14And lived happily ever after.
