A female lion needs 5 kg of meat everyday, that’s heaps. A male needs 7kg or more food a day! A baby lion is called a cub, whelp or lionet which is cute. In the wild, lions live from 12 years up to16 years. They live up to 25 years in captivity. Which is quite young for us.

the Bald Man and the Wasp
The Bald Man and the Wasp
There was once a bald man who sat down after work on a hot summer's day. A wasp came along and kept buzzing about his bald hurt. The Man tried to hit his little enemy, but whacked his hand on his head instead.
Soon the again the wasp buzzed around him, but this time the man was wiser and said:
"You will only bald yourself if you try to hurt those who annoy you."

The Lion and the Mouse
The Lion and the Mouse
Once when a Lion was asleep a little mouse ran up and sat on
top of him; this woke up the lion, who placed his huge paw on
the mouse, and opened his big jaws to eat him. "Please O King,
" begged the mouse: "forgive me this time, I will never forget
it: and who knows I may be able to help you one of these days?"

The lion was so tickled at the idea of the Mouse being able to
help him, that he lifted up his paw and let him go.

Some time after, the Lion was trapped in a net set by hunters.
Just then, the little mouse happened to pass by,
and saw the helpless trapped lion, and he went up to him and
soon gnawed away the ropes that trapped the King of the
Beasts. "Was I not right?" said the little mouse, “Little
friends can be great friends.”
