* Aesop's story "The Lion and the Mouse" has this trope at its core: One day a lion was sleeping and a mouse, by complete accident, woke him up. The Lion, annoyed at the mouse, threatened to eat it. The Mouse begged for forgiveness, and claimed that, due to its size, it would make a poor meal. The Lion agreed, and let the mouse go free.

Out of gratefulness for sparing him, the Mouse chews through the ropes and frees the Lion.
