Inside, right in front of the lion, sat a tiny gray kitten. Somehow, it had managed to slip into the cage and was now in danger.

The kitten trembled with fear. Its eyes were wide open, its little body pressed against the concrete wall as if searching for protection. It knew: there was no way out behind, and in front of it stood a massive lion, ready to attack.
