Exposition: In a grassy area, the story introduces a mouse that encounters a lion.
Conflict: The mouse awakens the lion and will be the lion's next meal.
Rising Action: The clever mouse convices the lion to let him go and will be helped by him one day.
Climax: Soon after, the lion needs help and the mouse runs to his side.

The fable's illustration are not well developed. The book lacks detailed illustrations about the characters and the mood, but it is very well written to teach the story's theme.
