which a mountain lion protected its young.
The officials had come to a point in
mountain pass and were surprised to see a
little distance ahead of them a male and
female mountain lion rolling a gigantic
boulder down the side of a hillock. Deity
the pair placed the big rock against hole
in the face of the mountain and then de-
parted in search of food 1t was marvellous
in the eyes of the city officials and they pro-
ceeded to investigate. In the cavern they
found seven lion cubs, playing peeka-boo,
secure from attack
The watchers hid short distance away
and a few minutes later were greeted by
the soft footballs of the returning lions.
The male, loosening a small rock beneath
the boulder, allowed it to slip few feet
to the right and both animals passed into
the cavern and out of sight.
