It seemed that the lion was thanking the man who saved it from death.
They looked into each other’s eyes – a man and a wild animal, who were bound together by a moment of despair and struggle. And then the lion turned around abruptly and with a leisurely gait disappeared into the thickets, dissolving into the wild forest.
The man stood motionless for a long time, feeling his heart pounding.
He understood: that day he did not just save a lion.
He experienced an encounter that would change him forever.
