The Lion and The Mouse Once when a lion was asleep, a little mouse began running up and down upon him; this soon awoke the lion, who placed his huge paw upon him, and open his big jaws to swallow him. “Pardon, O king,” cried the little mouse, “Forgive me this time, I shall never forget it; perhaps I may be able to do you a good turn some of these days.” The lion was so tickled at the idea of the mouse being able to help him. Then, he lifted up his paw and let him go. Sometime after, the lion was caught in a trap. Some hunters, who wanted to carry him alive to the King, tied him to a tree while they went in search of a wagon to carry him in.

My Holiday in Flores I went to flores last month. I went there to visit Australian Volunteer English teachers in Maumere, Ende and Bajawa. As a result, I also enjoyed the beauty of the island. I started my first day in Maumere with Jo Keating. After visiting several schools in the city, we took an amazing journey over the mountains to the south coast. We visited a new junior high school there. Then, I traveled to Ende to meet Sharon Kidman. Ende has a great market with a lovely selection of traditional woven ikat cloth, and great seafood.
