Nina's Little Fables Season 1 Episode 5 The Mouse, The Hare and The Raven

The Mouse, The Hare and The Raven is the fifth episode of Nina's Little Fables season 1. In this episode, Nina narrates the story of a mouse who wants to be friends with a hare, but the hare doesn't want to be friends with the mouse because he thinks mice are too small and weak. The mouse tries to impress the hare by challenging him to a race through the forest, but the hare is too fast and easily wins the race. Feeling defeated, the mouse laments to a wise old raven who tells him that being small and weak doesn't mean he is worthless.

The raven shares the fable of the lion and the mouse, where a small mouse helps a lion by freeing him from a trap. The lion, who was about to eat the mouse before being freed, spares the mouse's life. Later, when the lion is caught in a hunter's trap, the mouse comes to his aid and chews through the ropes of the trap, freeing the lion. This fable teaches the mouse the lesson that even the smallest and weakest can be of great help to others.

Feeling inspired by the raven's words, the mouse comes up with a plan to help the hare. The hare has been losing races to a tortoise, and the mouse suggests that they team up to beat the tortoise together. The hare agrees, and the mouse rides on the hare's back as they race against the tortoise. When they get close to the finish line, the hare slows down so that the mouse can jump off his back and across the finish line first. The team effort allows both the hare and mouse to win the race.

In the end, the hare learns the lesson that it's okay to be friends with those who are different and not to judge others based on their size or abilities. The mouse also learns that he has value and can be of great help to others, regardless of his size. This heartwarming fable teaches a valuable lesson about friendship, teamwork, and the importance of not underestimating others.
