Ron Reads Boring Books
Are you tired? You will be. Because I will read to you a boring book and it will be worse than you doing nothing. This podcast is not intended to entertain you. It is intended to bore you. The length of each podcast will vary so you cannot plan your listening easily. Some reads will be short. Some will be excruciatingly long. There will be no intro or outro music. The only sound is my voice and other random sounds as they happen. I change my voice as I read the dialog. Also, I have a southern accent and do not read well. Thank you for listening.

The Lion's Debt
Ron narrates Aesop's classic fable "The Lion and the Mouse," illustrating how acts of mercy can return unexpected rewards. When a mighty lion spares a tiny mouse who promises to help him someday, the seemingly absurd promise becomes a life-saving reality.
• A sleeping lion is awakened by a mouse running across him
• The lion captures the mouse and prepares to eat him
• The mouse begs for mercy, promising to help the lion someday
• The lion laughs at this idea but releases the mouse anyway
• Later, hunters capture the lion and bind him with ropes
• The mouse finds the trapped lion and gnaws through the ropes, freeing him
• The mouse reminds the lion that "little friends may prove great friends"

Hello, Are you tired? You will be, because this is Ron Reads and Ron is reading Fables of Aesop. This next selection is called the Lion and the Mouse. Let's learn something together. Once, when a lion was asleep, a little mouse began running up and down upon him. This soon wakened the lion, who placed his huge paw upon him and opened his big jaws to swallow him. Pardon O king cried the little mouse.
Speaker 2:Forgive me this time. I shall never forget it. Who knows, but what I may be able to do you a turn some of these days.
Speaker 1:The lion was so tickled at the idea of the mouse being able to help him that it lifted up his paw and let him go Some time after. The lion was caught in a trap and the hunters who desired to carry him alive to the king tied him to a tree while they went in search of a wagon to carry him on. Just then the little mouse happened to pass by and, seeing the sad plight in which the lion was, went up to him and soon gnawed away the ropes that bound the king of beasts.
Speaker 2:Was I not right?
Speaker 1:said the little mouse, little friends may prove great friends. This has been Ron Reeds. Please leave a five-star review or a five-star rating rather and a good review. Welcome your comments and suggestions for future books and stories, share with your friends and subscribe, thank you.
