A Lion lay asleep in the forest, his great head resting on his paws. A timid little Nestrian came upon him unexpectedly, and in his fright and haste to get away, ran across The Lion's back by accident. Roused from his nap, The Lion laid his huge paws angrily on the tiny creature getting ready to kill him.
The Nestrian: Spare me! Please let me go and some day I will surely repay you!
The Lion was much amused to think that a Nestrian of all things could actually ever stop what they're doing and help him, but since he was generous and finally let The Nestrian go. However some days later, while stalking his prey in the forest, the Lion was caught in the toils of a hunter's net.
Unable to free himself, he filled the forest with his angry roaring. The Nestrian knew the voice and quickly found The Lion struggling in the net. Running to one of the great ropes that bound him, he quickly gnawed it until it parted, and soon The Lion was free, which actually worked despite having very dull teeth and such.
The Nestrian: You laughed when I said I would repay you, now you see that even a Nestrian of all things in the animal kingdom can help a Lion.
