so i was in this big yard.. i think my fathers

and there were people all around and family

we noticed this huge lion walking amongst us

someone had said he was friendly so we didn't think twice

i watched him as he walked..

so big and strong, i felt drawn to him

then something happened

the lion suddenly seemed to be getting mad or frustrated

he roared loudly and then started slowly running through the crowd

his eyes fixed on me

i felt nervous at first

but then i saw him running toward me

i got scared and unsure of what his intentions were

so i ran

into a small room and two other women ran with me

we just got the door shut to the room as the lion reached us!

we were holding the door closed as hard as we could

but the lion roared and the door broke

suddenly it was just me

in what now seemed to be a bathroom

and the lion was looking at me through the broken door

i decided for some reason my best bet was to get into the bathtub

so i ran to it and hopped in.

i layed down in the fetal position with my head down

i realized there was a couple inches of water in the tub and i didn't want to stick my face in

so i put my head down as close to it as possible

suddenly the lion burst in

i was frightened still unsure of what he would do

he ran over to me and stuck his face right by mine..
i remember peeking and seeing his giant eye looking at me

he was sniffing me

checking me out

then he stuck his nose in the water and started drinking

i realized then i had read him all wrong

slowly and cautiously i brought my hand up to pet his thick fur

i remember sitting there in the water just running my hands over him and petting him

he stopped drinking and watched me

as if he too was nervous

once he realized what i was doing he smiled

and drank some more

then turned to me
i remember looking at him and seeing how amazingly beautiful he was

his face , his eyes, his stomach was covered in what looked like

a rainbow of colors

i started to pet him all over and smiled and laughed

i felt happy
