EPISODE 3 — The Secret of the Lion
The morning sun slowly rose over the quiet village. The birds were singing, but Sammy's heart was still heavy from the strange events of the previous night.
Jeneth had seen the lion with him in the forest. But what she didn't understand was that the lion was not just any animal.
Sammy sat outside his small house, thinking deeply. Suddenly, he heard footsteps approaching.
"Sammy!" Jeneth called softly.
He turned and saw her walking toward him. Her face showed curiosity and a little fear.
"Sammy… that lion we saw yesterday… what is really going on?" she asked.
Sammy looked around to make sure no one was nearby.
"There is something I have never told anyone," he said quietly.
Jeneth sat beside him, listening carefully.
"When I was a little boy, I once got lost in the forest. I cried for hours until night came. Suddenly, a huge lion appeared. I thought it was the end of my life."
Jeneth held her breath.
"But the lion did not attack me," Sammy continued. "Instead, it protected me from other wild animals and stayed with me until morning."
Jeneth was shocked.
"That lion has followed me ever since," Sammy said. "It only appears when I am in danger."
Jeneth looked at Sammy with new eyes. She realized there was something mysterious and powerful about him.
At that moment, a loud roar echoed from the forest again.
The lion was calling.
Sammy stood up slowly.
"Something is wrong," he said.
Jeneth looked at him nervously.
"Are we going back to the forest?" she asked.
Sammy nodded.
"Yes… because the lion never calls me unless there is danger."
Together, they began walking toward the dark forest once again.
But this time, something unexpected was waiting for them.
