The title of the book is The Lonely Lion. I think this book is about the lion that lives in a Zoo. He lives in his cage, alone, without any friends. He sees people talking to one another, laughing and doing different things. And the lion also wants to go back to the woods, to his fellow lions. How can we help him? He is like a human being. You see, there are some people around you who can also feel lonely. They feel isolated from the people. Its really very difficult to live with no friends and no family, when nobody feels sympathetic to you, when nobody gives you a helping hand.
There are probably some lonely students in our school, too. They need help and people around should understand this.
The book is called The Lonely Lion. I think it is about a lion who was caught by a hunter. Now the lion lives alone, in his master▓s place. I think he is suffering not because of the cruelty of his master, but because he wants to go back to the forest, to his fellow lions. The problem is that there are some people who like to keep wild animals in their homes. It▓s becoming fashionable. I think these people don▓t care much for the animals themselves. They don▓t realize that wild animals must live in the forest. People should care about the future of our planet and how to preserve it for future generations.
