  5. “The Lion and the Mouse” One day a lion was napping in the shade of tree in the forest. He was wakened from his afternoon nap by a mouse who was running up and down on him. Swat! went his huge paw upon the little creature. “Pardon, O King!” cried the little mouse. “Forgive me this time. I shall never forget it. Who knows, buy I may be able to do you a favor one day.” The lion took compassion upon the tiny mouse and released him. A few days later, the lion became trapped in a hunter’s net. His roars made the whole forest tremble. The little mouse whose life was spared approached the lion in the snare and used his sharp little teeth to gnaw the strong ropes. At last, the lion was free. “Was I not right?” asked the little mouse. Where is the exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution?
