In one of Aesop's fables, the mighty lion, king of beasts, learns the value of the variety of gifts that God gives the creatures. One day as the lion was sleeping, a little mouse ran across its back and awakened the lion. In a rage, the lion was about to eat the little mouse. But the mouse begged for mercy in such a nice way that the lion let it go. A couple days later, the lion was hunting in the forest and became ensnared in a trapper's net. The lion let out a mighty roar, but it did not faze the braided cords of the net which held the lion fast, no matter how hard it struggled.
