As Brave as a Lion (1) (based on an African legend) Long ago, in Africa, a woman was afraid that her husband no longer loved her. So she visited the local wise man. After listening to her story, the wise man said, " If you want to leave your husband, I will help you. But if you still love him, I can give you a magic drink. This potion will make him love you forever. ”
The woman cried, " Give me this magic potion now, for I want to keep my usband. " The man said, " I have everything l need except for one important ingredient. I am too old to get it myself. You will have to bring it to me. " The woman said, " Sure. But what is it?" “ I need one whisker from a living lion, ” said the old man. The woman was afraid. " How will I be able to get it?" thought the woman. But her love for her husband was great. The next day, she went to the river where all the lions drank. She put some meat on the ground and hid in the bushes. Soon, a big, scary lion appeared. He sniffed the air suspiciously, but took the meat. Then, he had a drink of water and left.
