            The lion chases them

            The younger and the older

            The younger ahead, the older behind

            The lion catching up

            The younger cries for help

            From above, a ladder descends

            The younger climbs to the top

            The older still running

            The lion, still chasing

            The lion almost catching the older

            The younger pleads for help

            The lion diverted, the older still down

            “Climb up,” to the older the younger calls,

            “No, you come down for me,” the older answers

            The younger tempted to go down, again

            A voice whispers, “Down you cannot

            Up she must follow.”
