A story in all languages ​​of the world

Emilio Gutierrez is an intercultural mediator who works in the Canary Islands with young immigrants. From her "little corner of the Atlantic", Tenerife, has sent us a nice initiative: want to translate the short story "The Lion and the Mouse" to all the world's languages. For now, already has versions in several languages ​​and major European Spanish and Russian, Esperanto, Arabic, Chinese or Japanese. From here we thought that there might be some kind readers who dare to give a boost to the story in some of the languages ​​spoken in South Asia.

Here's the text:

"Once upon a time a mouse out of his burrow and found a huge lion. The lion wanted to eat.

- Please lion, do not eat me. Maybe someday I need.

The Lion replied:

- How should you need it, so small you are?

The lion took pity on seeing how small was the mouse and let go. One day the mouse heard a terrible roar. It was Mr. Lion.

When he arrived, he found the lion trapped in a network.

-I will save you, said the mouse.

- Do you? You're too small for the effort.

The mouse began to gnaw the rope of the net and the lion was saved.

Since that night, the two were friends forever. "

If someone wants, you can leave your version in the comments or send it directly to Emilio, in the direction euroafroamericano [@] gmail.com

Please take good care of punctuation and spelling, it will be difficult for anyone to edit submissions. That said, thank you very much in advance and happy translation.
