A lion named Leon was crossing the road to find a female mate. He was having a hard time trying to find one. He was super desperate about finding a mate and have a new family so he wouldn’t have to die alone. This all started when his mother gave birth to another male. Not letting the family have more than two males, his family decided to keep his little brother over him since he was old enough to leave the pride and his newborn little brother wasn’t. Leon was really angry at first but then soon he realized that he would be able to create a new family. So then he decided to make that his goal.

Now, he was trying to cross a really big river that stretches over 1.4 miles. And near the shore there was a group of crocodiles waiting for prey to catch and eat. Leon was really scared but started to plan out how to cross. He then thought of charging towards the crocodiles and scaring them away. He succeeded and then accidentally ran into a lioness. Leon fell in love with her and then asked her to be his mate. The lioness, Lia, said yes and then they found cave to live in for the rest of their lives.
