The Calves Bad Day
“Today is a great day to go for a stroll in the African Savanna in October don't you think baby calf?” I said “Yeah” and we went to the river but I could see something and didn't know what it was.
I was walking along the river bank until Dad stopped and and yelled “Run back” because he saw a pride of lions. I ran as fast as I could.
I could hear them getting closer and closer. I lost my balance and I fell in the yucky water. The lions were pulling me out of the water. Until a crocodile came and pulled me too. So it was tug of war.
The lions won. I was still alive, I was just cut and scratched. My dad got some more buffalo reinforcements. Then the lions ran away.
I was rescued by my mum, dad, sister and brother. After I was rescued,I went behind Mum in the herd. while Dad chased the lions away.
I was so relieved that my Dad came back and rescued me from the jaws of the lions. I learnt my lesson to stay in the middle of the herd.
