In 1969, John Rendall and his friend Anthony Bourke see a cute little baby lion in a shop in
London. They take him home and call him Christian. They take him for walks and play with him
21
every day. They drive him around the city in their car.
Christian lives with John and Anthony happily for about a year. He is never angry(生气的) and
he is not dangerous. But he grows(生长) quickly and he gets very big. At first, it is not easy,
22
but when time goes by, he learns and does well.
After a year, John and Anthony went back to Africa. They want to see Christian again. But would
Christian remember them? Christian walks over slowly. Then he recognizes(认出) them. He
23
runs over and jumps up on them. He didn't want to eat them but hug(拥抱) them.
John and Anthony go to see Christian three years later. He still recognizes them and runs
24
over, but he is too big and he knocks(撞) them down easily. But they are also happy to see
25
Christian live freely in Africa.
