The Mouse and the Lionnce upon a time, there was a large lion who lived in the jungle.He had a beautiful mane and huge paws, which he used when he

was hunting. He was very strong and very proud, and he consideredhimself to be the king of the jungle.

One day the lion was resting under the shade of a tree.Suddenly, a tiny mouse, who was looking for berries to feed his family,accidentally ran onto the lion's giant paws.The lion picked the mouse upby his tail.

"Yum IUffi, a tiny snack!" said the lion."l shall eat you up fordaring to run over my paws."

"Please dont eat me!" squeaked the mouse, who was veryscared."l was looking for food for my family! | am hardly a mouthful toa big lion like you, and if you spare my life, one day I may be able to saveyours."

The lion roared with laughter."A tiny mouse like you helpthe king of the jungle? But, as you have made me laugh, I agree. I willlet you go." The lion put the mouse down, so he could go on his way.

One day, some time latel the liale mouse heard a terribleroaring deep in the jungle. He thought it sounded like his friend, and hescampered off to look. He found the lion trapped in thick ropes.Hunters had set a trap, and now the lion was caught.

The mouse said, "You once spared my life, and now I can helpyou." The little mouse started to nibble his way through the ropes and,although it took a long time, he finally managed to free the lion.

"Thank you so much," said the lion. "l can see now howlucky I am to have you as a friend!"

Lucas and the Alienne night, Lucas was looking out of his bedroom window at thenight sky. He was bored, and he couldn't sleep.There was only

his sister at home today, and Lucas didn't like to play with girls. Heonly played with boys.

lf only he had a fr iend to talk to! Then, suddenly, he had anidea - he would go to Mars! He had always wondered what it wouldbe like on a different planet.

When he got there the ground was rocky and bare, andthere were big boulders and huge craters everywhere. He started tolook around, and very soon he saw in the distance a small al ien!

"Wow!" thought Lucas. "Doesn't he look strange - I'd betternot talk to him." But the alien came over to Lucas.The alien hadthree eyes, four noses and lots of ears sticking out of its head insteadof hair - and it was red all over! Lucas hid behind a rock. but the alienfollowed him.

"Hello!" said a small, high voice."My name is Fnu-Fnu.What's yours?"

"E6 Lucas," said Lucas, amazed.The alien could talk!"Do you like my toy?" said Fnu-Fnu, and held out a big

bouncy ball that glowed silvery-purple."l 've got one of those!" said Lucas, and he pulled his green,

glittery, bouncy ball from his pyjama pocket.Lucas and Fnu-Fnu played bounce and catch until it was

time for Lucas to go home."l have to get back for breakfast," explained Lucas. "But I've

had a great time. I am so pleased to have a boy from Mars as a friend.Shall we meet again?"

"l 'm not a boy, I 'm a gir l !" said Fnu-Fnu, laughing."Of coursewe can meet again."

And from that time, whenever Lucas was bored he went toMars to play with his friend, who happened to be a girl.
