The lion and the rat

The lion and the rat

Have no prejudice about people, situations...

An allegory that makes it clear.

It is said the lion king, and the rat... a lesser being.
Among the animals the rat is lesser seen as the lion, indeed

However,...

There was this lion trapped in a net.
The more he roared the more the net had a grip on him.

Came along this little rat, he once saved from the gap
Who one by one cut the mazes of the net with his sharp teeth
And ultimately the lion got freed.

Lesson of the story

Some times you better save a rat.
You never know who will come at your rescue later

To friendship. There are no little friends... only BIG ONES!

Rats are most amazing beings... any experience with them?

PS

Free translation of one of the fables of Jean de La Fontaine, a french writer.
Never ignore the lesser one, for they are all needed.

The power of the lion is his choice.
That of the rat, his skills.

Aren't they both awesome?
