Baby mountain lion

Societ?elle Missions Africans (SMA) Home Page - the Child, the Old one, the Lion when it had eight years, towards the 1956, collective peach and according to the old popular story a truly strange one that a cavern in a week after in perfect health of men inhabited that left for one successful mortuary ceremony to meet Dominique evening yesterday, a po' various from the legend, but always interesting. Those far away month of September I was in feet before the sun. to eight years I went for before the time to the peach with the large ones, the great peach that hard all the day and flood of emotions. It was the age of abundant rains and the highest grass and I limped behind the group, I the pi?iovane of the boys, with two baskets in order to collect the fish captured from the large ones. The large ones were fortified of nets, nasse and harpoon and sifted one to one the rich ponds of carpe and fish-cat we boys ran here and of l? to collect the fish. He was all to speak joyful, to laugh and to joke that to times indiavolato was transformed in vociare, if some cayman or pito some made capolino in surface. Cos?assava the time and we did not notice of clouds was gi?omeriggio and the baskets were nearly full, when black nuvoloni they were left over until invading all the sky. It was time to re-enter and the head had gi?mpartito the order, when someone scopr?no the richest pond of prede. My friends left to the gallop, but my baskets weighed, they weighed truly too much for my small arms and I ended in order to remain behind and losing them of sight. It was in that moment that scoppi?iolento the thunderstorm, full a terrible long lightning bolt thunderstorm and thunders and then was a water deluge to remove to me every visual. I feared to drown and then I abandoned my baskets and of race, on for the mountain, pi?n always high between the run masses much time finch?rovai a cove and I entered to you. It was one beautiful and deep cove from the soft ground. Accovacciai to the warmth while outside the water it bounced on is known. Then cess? the red sun appeared finally. It was gi?l red sun of the sunset them behind mounts. I turned the look from every part without to recognize the place I salted pi?lto on cliffs in order to increase the horizon. I did not understand just, from every part mountains ignote and everywhere the highest grass that prevented to the sight not even the river was visible, was not pi?l my world. I still round explored without to lose sight the cavern, then when the sun scomparve to the horizon, the hope lost: rest?he not to return to me to the cavern, to enter, to spread me to me memory of to have had fear stremato and I was not endured m' addormentai in the tepore of that soft earth and slept senz' other all the night, of spun. It was the song of the birds to risvegliarmi to the dawn and I believed to dream watching cliffs and the cavern in fact, I was sure of being on the mat to house mine. Then slowly the memory emerged from the mist and exited: I recommenced my searches with fury, but prudent I always held of eye the indicating cliff my shelter. After many useless and strong trying to you grida I had hunger and endured I was attracted from the small yellow fruits of season: ce n' they were here in abundance and of l?ugli trees amid? I had for banquet companions the scimmiette grey, than made curious times s' they approached a po' too much and then I raised threatening my stick and withdrew. I did not have fear of the monkeys and I ate spensierato finch? bites of the hunger stopped and seated on a pebble, to admire the monkeys that played and litigated round. Then resumed still to explore the region, always invano and still came evening, with the sun that disappeared behind the mount. I watched to along sadly, but it came soon buio. I did not have much sleep and I observed to along the sky, then only when the frescura punse I entered to me in the seated cavern to observe the moon to exit from dark mountains. Hardly I had dozed off that urlo svegli?mprovviso. I put myself to seat tightening the stick and full load of fear. I was not successful to distinguish of that beast be a matter itself. To those times they turned for our mountains many fairs: hyenas, lions, panthers, sure, but also giganteschi snakes, and then spoke themselves about spirits and many devils. But some moment after, it urlo resumptions, distinguished: it was the hyena. It was be a matter of a large hyena perch?' urlo was cavernous, "mmmmm" a complaining one and always pi?icino to my shelter. The aggressive hyena?olto and s' attacks the goats and buoi, but its taste goes particularly to the meat of ass for this many asses carries the morsicature of the hyena and we boys say that they have its number of matriculation. Unfortunately the hyenas of mountains attack also the man, the man who s' single adventure in the paths, of night. Urlo of the hyena was stopped and rimuginavo my thoughts, when one great entered shadow stagli?ll' of the most visible cavern to the chiarore of the moon: it was an enormous hyena. I withheld the breath and I strained myself urlare waiting for from a moment to the other of being attacked, but I would before have given one great beating to them on the snout. The hyena avanz?a great head circospetta, annus?si ritrasse, annus?na second time and me trov?Rimase to along uncertain, churning head and legs, doubtful. Finally, perhaps frightened, if of and? I breathed. Per?l sleep if n' it had gone and I only made drowsy to the dawn, dreamming of being gi?ella mouth of the great hyena. Then urlai in order indeed and me risvegliai, with the high sun in sky. Me stropicciai the eyes and I was content of being alive and the hunger pushed to me soon to contendere the fruits to the monkeys. The second day was exactly like before, but I felt one great fatigue to invade to me, and sleepiness. I pleased myself to eat the fruits and to watch the monkeys. I had found under one clear water cliff a rivolo: I dug, I made a puddle and I came some often to drink. Also the scimmiette they discovered it and they came to dissetarsi. S' was accustomed to my presence, like pits one of they and often they came next and they tried to me to touch to me, but at the last moment I raised my stick and withdrew. Cos?enne still evening and I saw sadly to die the sun. I was weak person, me coricai in the cavern without to wait for the moon and without to think next to null: I was to half-closed eyes. I do not know pi?e I was gi?ddormentato when explosion urlo it, urlo so terrible to make to shake all the mountain. This time not was doubt some, was be a matter of the lion. This urlo m' had gi?atto to shake in the village, but then the lion was far away and had much people round. But now urlo it was risuonato near and I was alone. To defend to me with the stick against the king of the animals. I had once seen to the pasture a lion give near: one infernal machine of zanne, teeth and muscles with the lion, the man pu?ar other that not to disappear. Rannicchiai in order it still makes me me pi?iccolo, invisibile. But it urlo resumptions still pi?icino, I did not dare to watch. Then after along Hush, here of the steps on pebbles, and then a poderoso breath me obblig?d to open the eyes. The king of the forest was to the entrance of my cavern. In practical it otturava all with its large head and the longest criniera that the ground touched annus? senz' other me trov?erch?' immobilizz?ruscamente. Pi?orto that alive I only waited for of being divorato, but I did not see its mouth n?li eyes because of the moon how much dur?uell' agony, than I cannot pi?imenticare. To the end the lion gir? if of and?entamente, but I still remained to along rannicchiato and striking the teeth. Then the fatigue was pi?orte and fell in along sleep. Me risvegliai still pi?ardi the day after and they were the scimmiette giocherellone makes me to jolt, all assembled to hop to the entrance of the cavern. I exited and I passed they in means churning my stick then I went to drink and to wash the ace to me in the water pool. po' to the time svan?a a fear and I felt the hunger. I chose a large full tree of the succulenti yellow fruits and salted tired on coppers pi?lti and remained astride in order to eat to along without having to me to move continuously. After a sure time I felt a rustling and I turned the great lion was under the tree and it watched to me. It watched to me with its immense indifferent yellow eyes. I embraced the log friend, only strongly my defense and watched the fair with attention: it was truly gigantic and it carried the long criniera like that one of the night: he was he. For which reason he was returned to meet to me, onlooker. Me guard? along, without no gesture, without aggressivit?oi if of and?ranquillo and spar?ietro one cliff. When I was I am satiated round come down slowly watching me then me dissetai still and I went on my usual pebble I watched the horizon and the sun to go up in center to the sky. Slowly I had dozed off one scimmietta s' avvicin?almente that fin?er grattar me a foot. I jumped frightened and urlante. the monkey fugg? rompicollo. And this was my fortune, perch?i caught up human voices. Frugai with the eyes all the landscape, ritto on my pebble then I launch to the full acute lungs grida of callback. A poderoso outcry answered to me, a man outcry truly. Resumed to scream and the man answered me a po' pi?icino. I felt to limp by now on the masses, I was but. And here finally to appear old, with the head a white woman, When I saw I remained dumb with the open mouth of astonishment but the man sorrise and said to me: "Who six and what you make here and without to wait for he added: "the Six child of Kuba Adugul, what all try from three days, senz' other. Me trov?os?ebole who we took to me in shoulder and m' I made drowsy. Me risvegliai in a village and encircled from a crowd and all they asked to me where I had been and what I had seen finch?rriv?na my sister, married to Barlo: I was to house.
