The Friendly Lion’s tan fur glistened in the evening sun. In the

scorching Jungle of Tanzania, the Lion played by himself.

The Friendly Lion was bigger than the other animals in the

jungle. He had sharp teeth and a big mane. Although he was

big, he was a gentle lion, he would never harm anyone. The

Friendly Lion treated everyone with kindness and respect.

Everyday the Friendly Lion would watch all the other animals play in the

jungle, from a distance. Every time he tried to play with the other

animals, they would run away and hide. The Lion grew lonely and sad.

He longed to have a friend that wouldn't be scared of him.

One animal that was especially scared of the Lion was the

Disapproving Mouse. The tiny Mouse remembered the other

animals telling him horrifying stories of lions and their

wickedness. “My mom told me, lions are cruel and vicious and I

should stay away from them.” The zebra said. The mouse grew

scared.

“I heard a lion dug his claws into an elephant, for looking the wrong

way!” The monkey joined. The Mouse perked up his big rounded ears

and cringed. He agreed from then on, he would never cross paths with

a lion.

One day when the dusty gray mouse and the other animals were

messing around he accidentally fell into a ditch, that seemed endless.

He cried and cried for help but none of the other animals could reach

the mouse, as they were to small.

The Friendly Lion heard the Mouse crying for help, “Some one

help me please!” As he ran to help the Mouse, all the animals

scurried away.

“Don’t worry I’ll help you!” shouted the Lion. The mouse was

relieved someone was going to help him, until the Lion peered

down in the ditch. The Mouse froze in place when he caught a

glance of the Lion, shivers running down his back.
