LION

Lion is four-legged carnivorous mammal which has long been considered to be one
of endangered animals by International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
They are from the Felidae family and they are the second-largest cat after the tiger.
They live in a group and they usually inhabit savannah and grassland. A group of
Lion is called “a pride”, it may have up to 30 members, but mostly it consists of 15
members. The members of a pride are male lions, female lions (usually called as
“lioness”) and their offspring.

The body weight of a baby lion is about 1,2 to 2 kg. As they grow older, they can
reach a maximum body weight of 250 kg for the male lion and 185 kg for the
lioness. The length of an adult male lion can reach the size of 330 cm, while the
lioness can reach the size of 270 cm. Both male and female lions have muscular
body, this is the reason why they have so much energy to hunt other animals which
sometimes has a bigger body than them. They have broad head, round ears, short
neck, and a long tail. The tail can reach the size of 100 cm and it ends with a dark
hairy tuft. Their skin color varies from light buff to silverly gray, but some people
also thought that their color is brown. The head of a male lions is covered by thick
mane which grow downward and backward covering not only most of their head
but also their chest. The color of the mane is the combination of brown, yellow,
rust and black.

 Watching Movie
My sister and I went to see a film last night. It was an American movie called The
Lost Flight. It showed how people can quickly change when they have to look after
themselves in the jungle. It was an interesting film about a plane which crashed on
a small empty island in the Pacific Ocean.
Although the passengers were safe, nobody knew where the plane had crashed. So
the passengers had to learn how to hunt for food in the jungle and how to catch fish
from the sea to eat. After a few weeks, the passengers were eating raw fish and
meat.
After they had been on the island for two months, three of the men made a boat
and sailed away to find help. But their boat sank and they were drowned.
The film ended without saying whether the passengers were rescued or not. But my
sister and I enjoyed the film.

 Thumbelina

Once upon a time, there was a kind woman who had no children, longed for a baby
and would often say, “How I would love to have a baby girl, even a tiny little one."
A beautiful fairy heard her wish one day, and gave her a little seed to plant in a
flowerpot. When the seed bloomed into a tulip, the woman saw a tiny, beautiful
girl inside, no bigger than her thumb. She decided to call her Thumbelina. She was
so small that she had a walnut shell for a bed and used petals as a blanket. Then, an
ugly toad fell in love with Thumbelina.

One night when she was sleeping, he carried her off to his lily pad in a pond.
Thumbelina was very unhappy. A swallow was passing by and saw how sad she
looked, and said, “Come south with me to warmer lands." Young Thumbelina flew
away on the swallow’s back. They flew across the seas and came to a land of
sunshine. The swallow said, " This is my home. You can live in one of the loveliest
and biggest flowers." When Thumbelina stepped inside, she found a handsome
fairy, as tiny as her, in its heart. He was the son of the king of flowers and he fell in
love with Thumbelina. He asked her to marry him. So Thumbelina became queen
of the flowers and the two lived happily ever after.
