011. A Day In The Jungle

The tiger stops for a drink at a pool his crouched form shows off his muscles his eyes show two small fires but his gentle tongue makes not a ripple on the pool A small boy plays by the water fall enjoying the torrent on his shiny skin the roar of the water on the rocks copies the voice of the mighty lion prowling in the undergrowth The crash of a tree as an elephant appears dipping his long trunk in the pool he splashes the tiger on the other side the tiger shakes himself to him it is all a game The boy leaves the waterfall and runs away from it all he stops and turns his head eyes intent and awake and walks away from the mighty jungle
