THE TRAVELLER AND THE LION
One day a traveller in Africa went for a walk. When he was far from home, he saw a lion. The lion saw him at the same time and began to go after him. When the traveller walked quickly, the lion walked quickly, too. When he stopped, the lion also stopped. The man thought, ‘’ The lion is going to jump at me when it is dark. I cannot run away, so I must think of something.’’ He looked round and saw a large stone. It was near the river which the lion could not see. The man came to the stone and sat behind it. Then he took a stick, put his coat and his hat on it and put the stick out above the stone.
Soon the lion came nearer. He saw the coat and the hat and jumped at them. He jumped straight over the place where the man sat and fell into the river.
It was his last jump, and the traveller went home.
