“I know that once they meet you, they will see that you are both very nice children, and they’ll warm up to you quickly. Then you can wait with them while I go for help,” Shubi explained.
Jude and Lauren agreed that they would be very kind. They told Shubi that they loved all animals and would never harm one.
Shubi and the children spent some time getting to know each other and the children were laughing at everything Shubi said. They had no idea that while they were making their plans, big trouble was on the way down the mountain behind them!
Suddenly, they heard a loud, scary growl! Startled, they turned to see what the noise was, and saw a big, angry mountain lion crouching right behind them!
Shubi flew away so quickly that the children did not see which way he went. The children thought Shubi flew away because he was afraid.
They did not know what to do without him. “If only we had wings, too,” Jude said to Lauren as his voice shook with fear.
“What should we do?” Lauren cried. “The lion can run faster than us and I don’t think he wants to be our friend!”
