【英文寓言小故事带翻译】The Lion and the Mouse
Once upon a time, in a vast and sunny forest, there lived a mighty lion named Leo. He was the king of the jungle, known for his strength and courage. One day, while he was resting under a big tree, a small mouse named Max ran by.
Leo, who was feeling sleepy, opened one eye and saw the tiny creature. “What are you doing here?” he asked, his voice deep and loud.
“I’m just running,” replied Max, not wanting to get into trouble.
“Why don’t you run faster?” Leo laughed. “You’re too small to be anywhere near me.”
Max didn’t say anything, but he quietly left. However, the next day, something unexpected happened. Leo got caught in a hunter’s trap. The net was strong, and he couldn’t break free. He roared in anger and fear, but no one came to help.
Just then, Max heard the lion’s cries. He rushed over and saw the problem. Without hesitation, he began to chew on the ropes with his tiny teeth. After a long struggle, the net finally broke, and Leo was free.
Leo looked at Max and said, “Thank you for saving me. I didn’t think a mouse could help a lion.”
Max smiled and said, “Even the smallest friend can make a big difference.”

狮子与老鼠
从前，在一片广阔而阳光明媚的森林里，住着一只名叫莱奥的强大狮子。他是丛林之王，以力量和勇气闻名。有一天，当他躺在一棵大树下休息时，一只小老鼠名叫马克斯跑过来了。
莱奥正昏昏欲睡，睁开一只眼睛看到了这个小家伙。“你在这里干什么？”他用低沉而响亮的声音问道。
“我只是在跑。”马克斯回答，不想惹麻烦。
“你为什么不跑得更快一点？”莱奥笑着说，“你太小了，不该出现在我附近。”
马克斯没有说话，只是悄悄地离开了。然而第二天，发生了一件意想不到的事情。莱奥被猎人的陷阱困住了。网很结实，他无法挣脱。他愤怒和害怕地咆哮着，但没人来帮他。
就在这时，马克斯听到了狮子的叫声。他赶紧跑过来，看到问题所在。毫不犹豫地，他开始用小小的牙齿咬绳子。经过长时间的努力，网终于断开了，莱奥得救了。
莱奥看着马克斯说：“谢谢你救了我。我没想到一只老鼠能帮助一头狮子。”
马克斯微笑着说：“即使是最小的朋友，也能带来巨大的改变。”
