A cat cornered a mouse in a barn and was about to eat it. “Save me!” the mouse cried. “And someday I may save you!” The cat was haughty. “How can a tiny mouse ever save a cat?” she asked. “I may be tiny,” the mouse answered, “but I have 34 brothers and sisters. Together, we will help you someday when you are in grave danger.”
The cat was amused. She decided to let the mouse go. One day, weeks later, a snarling, growling dog cornered the cat in the same barn.
“Help!” cried the cat. “I’m in grave danger!” Suddenly, 35 mice leaped out of a hole in the wall. They began nipping at the dog with all their might.
The dog yelped as he raced away.
“Thank you,” the cat said to the mice. “You really did save me!”
