I have always been amazed by the animal world. Recently, I read a novel called Lions’ Journey. The book tells the story of five male lions. They left home and began their adventures. Unluckily, one was hurt by a giraffe. Another was killed by a hunter. The third one died during a fight for water with a rhino (犀牛). The fourth lion drowned (淹死). Only the youngest one, named Red Ribbon, was still alive. After going through many difficulties, he finally became the lion king.
The story shows the love and care between friends, and the problem of life and death faced by wild animals. That the young lion finally became the king teaches me a great lesson: what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Everyone will face lots of difficulties during their lifetime. We should learn to stay strong.
