WILL GIVE THE BRAINLIEST A Lion asleep in his lair was woken up by a Mouse running over his face. Losing his temper he seized it
with his paw and was about to kill it. The Mouse, terrified, piteously entreated him to spare its life saying he could help him in return someday. The idea of so insignificant a creature ever being able to do anything for him amused the Lion so much that he laughed aloud, and good-humoredly let it go. But the Mouse's chance came, after all. One day the Lion got entangled in a net which had been spread for game by some hunters, and the Mouse heard and recognized his roars of anger and ran to the spot. Without more ado it set to work to gnaw the ropes with its teeth, and succeeded before long in setting the Lion free. Recall the final step in the process to determine theme—use the events that happened in the fable and why they happened to infer the theme. Writing in complete sentences, identify the theme.
Based on the events in the passage the theme is even the smallest life matters, (or even the smallest creatures can be helpful, just depends how you want to say it.). The lion spares the mouses life simply because he thought the idea of him helping him was ludicrous, but the mouse stayed true to his word. In the end, the mouse did repay the lion by using his small size and teeth to his advantage and chewed through the ropes to save him.

I would give this chapter the title “Unstable”, because it shows how Ponyboy’s mental condition were really not great after having to accept Johnny’s death as he couldn’t accept the fact Johnny died and that Johnny had killed Bob. (Due to Ponyboy’s mental condition, Ponyboy kept mentioning that he killed Bob even though Johnny killed Bob.)
