Darkness falls over a small village in Kenya. Kenya is a country inAfrica. The people who live here are herders, and their cows are restingin a nearby wooden cattle-pen. All is quiet. Suddenly the cows raise theirheads. They feel something is outside their pen. It’s a female lion readyto break in and attack. Her sharp claws rip at the walls of the pen. Thefrightened cows run in different directions. The lioness tears through thefence and races toward the nearest cow. All the noise wakens the herders.They run to the pen, but they’re too late. One cow is dead, and thelioness is gone. Scared off by the herders, she left her prey behind. Thelioness returns to her two hungry cubs without a fresh kill. They greether and rub their faces against hers, but she cannot stay long. She hasto hunt again so her cubs won’t go hungry.The herders wait for the lioness to return. Losing livestock to lionsis a big deal for these herders, as cows, sheep and goats are like moneyfor them. They use the animals to pay for what they need. If one iskilled, life becomes harder for the herders.
