Lesson 2－Part 2
The male lion was named Christian. //
In just a few days, /
Christian came to like his new life /
with John and Ace. //
The two men and Christian /
got along really well. //
If one of the men was talking to the other, /
Christian would touch him gently /
to show that he wanted to play with them. //
Christian also loved to go out. //
John and Ace bought a special collar for him. //
When they walked with him, /
he pulled on his lead /
like an excited little dog. //
They also ran and played with a ball together /
in a field /
for hours. //
“I can’t imagine life without him,” /
John said with a smile. //
At first, /
people were surprised to see a lion /
in the city of London. //
However, /
they soon found /
that Christian was a lovely little friend. //
Lots of people, /
including newspaper photographers and television reporters, /
came to see him. //
However, /
Christian was growing up very fast. //
John and Ace felt /
that their happy life wouldn’t last long. //
