A Touch Of Courage
The air felt electric as Jake crouched and lightly touched the lioness’s paw. You could see everyone on the edge of their seats.
‘Wow, did he just do that?’ someone asked, their voice full of awe. It was like Jake was communicating bravery and reassurance in those gentle gestures.
He seemed to be saying, ‘I’m here to help.’ The lioness didn’t pull away, which we took as a promising sign.
Our nerves danced with anticipation at his courage.
