One year later /
John and Ace came back to Africa. //
George said to them, /
“He’s been fine with the other lions. /
He loves his new life /
and behaves like a wild animal.” //
The two men were also told /
that it would be too dangerous /
to get near Christian now. //
When they came to a field, /
a lion appeared. //
It was Christian! //
Suddenly /
he started to run toward them. //
In such a situation, /
anyone would shout, /
“Watch out!” /
in fright. //
Christian, /
however, /
placed his big paws on Ace’s chest /
and started licking his face! //
He did the same to John. //
“I can’t believe it. /
He remembers us!” /
said Ace. //
“I knew he wouldn’t forget us. /
I just knew it,” /
said John. //
Later, /
Christian even took his old friends /
to see his new family. //
The men realized /
that true friendship and love /
have no limits. //
