Lion for Mayor!
Mouse for Mayor!
A mouse wakes up a lion and makes the lion very angry. The mouse begs the lion to let him go. The mouse says the lion might need his help someday.
The lion lets the mouse go, although the lion can't see how such a small creature could ever help him.
Sometime later, the lion is caught in a hunter's net. The mouse chews through the net and frees the lion. The lion learns that size doesn't always matter.
Imagine that both the lion and the mouse were running for mayor. Whom would you vote for?
Cadi,
ReplyDeleteLooks great! I think I need some advice on how to set up a great blog:) Great idea for a topic for young ones! I struggled choosing a topic, wanting to do something for the younger kiddos. This first story sounds great! And what a fun way to end your description; makes me want to read it:)
super cute blog site! I just had to follow your blog since we share so many of the same loves in life! See you in class (and on Pinterest)!
ReplyDeleteI like how creative you are in relating this great example of Traditional Literature to your theme. Maybe you could even have a quick "mini election" for the mouse and lion, or debates! Another idea for Traditional Literature for your theme might be The Emperor's New Clothes maybe contrast Emperors and Kings to our democratic process.
