said to his friend, “I’m afraid of wild animals. What'll we do if we are attacked by some wild
beasts?”
Kembo answered, “We’ll fight the together and defend one another.” Just then, a lion leapt
from the bush and attacked Kembo who was walking in front. Kembo fell to the ground,
screaming with a lot of fear.
Without thinking of his own safety, Mlilo started pulling and twisting the lion's tail. The lion
must have felt some considerable pain in its tail as it suddenly left Kembo and disappeared into
the bushes.
“You have saved my life,” said Kembo to Mlilo. “I thank you very much.”
Mlilo replied, “It is my pleasure. I’ve only done what a good friend should do.”
After another long walk, the two friends were attacked again; this time by a hippo. As the huge
beast charged at Mlilo, Kembo quickly climbed a tall tree nearby. From the tall tree, Kembo
watched as the hippo brought Mlilo down.
Mlilo quickly thought of a plan. He lay flat like a dead person on the ground. Thinking Mlilo
was dead, the hippo left him and walked away.

dead. When he got close, Mlilo got up. For the rest of journey, the two friends did not talk one
