Faqaala al-faar: Aiyuhal asadu al-azeem.....ithruknee Azhabu... Anaa sagheerun was daéefun wa Inshaa Allah sa-usaaíduka fee yawmin Minal ay-yaam.
The lion caught the tiny mouse from its neck and raised it in the air and said: “ How could you hit me on my nose? Who are you to do such a thing?” Then the mouse replied “O great Lion,.......Leave me to go…… I'm small and weak. And if God Wills I shall help you someday.
Paragraph - 5

The lion laughed when it heard the words of the mouse and said: “You will help me? How will you help me - A tiny weak mouse like you and I am the king of Animals?! Go, Go O mouse. And (the Lion) put the mouse on the ground and the mouse ran far away.

After several days the lion fell into a large net, it tried to get out but could not manage. It tried hard to pull (the net) with it's huge arm but could not manage. It tried to bite the net with it's large teeth but could not manage. The Lion said, “Now the hunters will come and catch me”.
Saa-ha al-asadu bil-haiwaanaath: An-najdah.... an-najdah !

And the fast ostrich heard ….. and ran away.
Paragraph - 8
Samiá al-faaru al-asada yazaru,
samiá al-faaru sawthahu al-qawiyy. Jaraa al-faaru nahwal-asadi, qaala al-faaru: Ayyuhal asadu, sa-akhrajuka bi-suráthin InshaaAllah......asnaanee haaddah, Hal thazakkur indamaa dahiktha minnee? Al-aana sa-tharifu maazaa yafalu al-faaru as-sagheeru liyusaa-idaka.
The mouse heard the lion roaring, the mouse heard the strong voice (of the lion). The mouse rushed toward the lion, the mouse said, “O lion I will free you fast if God Wills….. my teeth are sharp, do you remember that you had once laughed at me? Shortly you will know what a small mouse can do to help you.
Bada-a al-faaru amalahu bi-sur-áh, qathaá al-faaru hablash-shabakathi bi-asnaanihee ....qathaá....waqathaá....waqathaá.....ámila al-faaru fatḥ-hathan kabeeratan....wa kharaja al-asadu minal-fath-hah. Al-aanal-asadu fee salaam.
The mouse immediately started its work, the mouse cut the rope of the net with its teeth…. It cut….. And it cut…… And it cut. The mouse made a big opening. And the lion came out through the opening. Now the lion was safe.
Qaala al-asadu: Aáraftu al-aana kalaamaka. Harabath kullul-haiwaanaathi wa waqaftha antha, wa anqazathnee.... Shukran yaa Sadeeqee. Wa min zaalika al-yawm.... Asbaha al-asadu Sadeeqal-faar, wa asbaha al-faaru Sadeeq Al-Asad.
The lion said, “Now I understand what you said. All the animals fled but you stood and released me….. Thank you, my friend. And from that day, the lion became the friend of the mouse, and the mouse became Lion's friend.
