Extra Credit Reading Notes, The Lion and The Boar

  Bibliography: W. Robinson, The Lion and The Boar

-This lion lived in the mountains and used to drink water out of this lake. One day, he saw a boar feeding over on the opposite side. He had just eaten a leg of an elephant and wasn't hungry. But he thought to himself that the boar would be a nice meal one day. 

-He crawled quietly away through the bushes, hoping he wouldn't see him. 

-The boar had sharp ever and did see him. The boar thought the lion was afraid. If he wants to go, he must fight me first!” He puffed his chest out very big, and rubbed his tusks against a tree, then he called out: Stay, stay, runaway! Let us have a fight to-day! You have four feet, so have I! If you fail, you can but try!

-The lion was so shook, he couldn't believe the boar wanted to fight. The lion talked so much trash to the boar and he was so scared. His friends barely knew him when he got home. All bristles on his back standing up, greedy eyes were gleaming, ran into the house knocking over pots and pans. All his friends wanted to go kill this lion. 

-He was an ignorant Boar, and did not know at all what the strength of a Lion is. So his heart was down in his toes. One very old and wise Boar advised him to roll in the mud till he was very dirty, because Lions are clean beasts and do not like dirt.

-As they met up to begin this fight one day, the lion was scared. He saw him dirty and didn't want anymore. The lion ran away and the boar went home. His friends were so disappointed but he beat him in a different way rather than killing him.
