The Great Escape
It was a beautiful day on the fifth of April at the Savannah. We were coming back from migrating. So far it had been a great trip and we had not ran into any predators yet. my son, wife and I were at the head of the herd so we were in charge of them. If only this grass did not blind us from lions.
I stopped because I smelt something suspicious and I looked around. The grass was moving but it was not grass it was a lion pride. I quickly turned my herd around because I heard them running towards my herd, so my herd ran as fast as they could. Then I saw them catch my son and he fell into the lake with the lion pride. They all circled my son and I could feel my anger taking over. So I ran to get the herd so we would stand a chance.
My son was swimming in the lake with the lions trying to get his horns off so that he would not fight back. Then a crocodile came into the fight. My son must have thought that he was a stretchy band. After the crocodile let go of my son because he was getting sore teeth from all the pulling.
After the rest of the herd got back the lions started backing away from my son. He knew he was not meant to take my son in the first place. So I charged at one of the lions and he went flying into the air. Then the other lions started to run away, but one of them did not, so I ran at him but he got away before I could get him.Then my son was safe. After all that my son went through, he went to taste the grass so he could get his energy up from all the fighting with the lions.
Finally my son was safe with us. He looked really happy to see us, but after all of that he survived an attack from a lion pride and a crocodile. But one day he will have to face his enemy once again, but we do not have to worry about that until the time comes.
