Once upon a time, there lived a girl and her lion friend, both loved each other very much. The lion always protected the girl, and the girl always protected the lion, both were very happy. But one day, as the girl walked through the forest to meet her lion friend, she came across a man that was very badly wounded, instinctively she took him in and mended his wounds, because she was very busy mending the man's wounds she never met her lion friend, this made her lion friend very sad, but still her lion friend always waited at the same spot they used to meet.

Seasons came to pass and the man's wounds were already healed, but the girl had slowly forgotten about her lion friend and their meeting spot. The girl ran off with the man to a place very far from the lion, and she never saw the lion again.

Everyday the lion had always waited for the girl patiently at the very same spot they promised. Seasons came to pass and the lion never saw the girl again, this saddened the lion very much that the lion decided to look for the girl. The lion searched far and wide, from every corner of the world. Many years had passed and the lion was tired and worn out, the lion was almost loosing hope when he heard the beautiful sound coming from a certain house, the lion peered through some bush and saw the girl singing while watering the flowers, this made the lion happy, but then as the lion approached the girl a tall figured came towards her which hugged and kissed her, the girl smiled back and both went in to their little house. Shocked, the lion went home to his little forest, felt betrayed and confused, his little heart broken into small pieces.

The lion was angry that he became aggressive and irate, that he would attack anybody in sight. This made the lion a target for many people, and while the lion was nearing their promised spot, a man saw him, with fear for his life the man pulled the trigger and hit the unsuspecting lion. The lion gave a roar from the pain, and while the man was getting ready for another shot, a boy protected the lion, and threatened to attack the man with the riffle, so the man just went his running for his life.

The boy tried to make the blood stop, but it was too late, the lion was almost nearing its end. The boy realized this and took something from his a pocket. Whispering to the lion's ear he said, "here's a letter, i know this will make all the hurting go away", the lion was shocked, he thought who in the world would send me a letter. But he obliged and said, "in my condition its hard for me to read would you please read it to me?" So the boy slowly read the letter to the lion, and while the lion was listening to the boy, tears fell unconsciously and the lion was now smiling again, the boy finally finished and asked the lion to forgive his mother. The lion was shocked but welcomed the boy with open arms, with his last breath he whispered to the boy, "i could never hate her to begin with, but i was afraid that she was, thank you for coming here, you really looked like her you know. . ." with that the lion closed his eyes and finally rested.

The boy took the lions body to her mother and father's resting spot and there he buried him. The lion and girl was finally with each other, after seasons of separation. The boy traveled the world and told anybody who listened about the story of a girl and her friend leo, whom she always called lion.
