Lila and Sam were friends who liked to play in the jungle. They liked to climb trees, swing on vines and look for animals. One day, they saw a big lion sleeping under a bush. Lila wanted to get closer and see his teeth and fur. Sam was scared and said, "No, Lila, don't go. The lion might wake up and be angry. He might hurt us. We should mind him and leave him alone."
But Lila did not listen to Sam. She said, "Don't be silly, Sam. The lion is sleeping. He won't mind us. I just want to look at him. He is so beautiful and strong." She walked slowly towards the lion, trying not to make any noise. Sam followed her, but he was very nervous.
When Lila was very close to the lion, she reached out her hand to touch his mane. But the lion was not sleeping. He was just resting his eyes. He felt Lila's hand and opened his eyes. He saw Lila and Sam and roared loudly. He was not happy to see them. He thought they were trying to steal his food or his spot. He jumped up and chased them.
Lila and Sam were very scared. They ran as fast as they could, but the lion was faster. He was almost catching them. They saw a big tree and climbed up. The lion could not climb the tree. He stayed at the bottom and growled. He was very hungry and angry.
Lila and Sam hugged each other and cried. They were sorry for not minding the lion. They wished they had listened to Sam. They hoped the lion would go away soon. They learned that the jungle was harsh and they had to be careful. They promised to never bother the lion again.
