Ethan heard the lioness roar, but he couldn't see her any more from his position. He strained his ears towards where he thought she would be. Nothing. "I wonder what all that was about," he mumbled. Then he heard it - faintly, but he heard it. Voices. He tapped the air with his nose. Now he could smell them. Ethan was so curious now that it was putting him on edge. "Maybe I'll just go for a quick look," he thought. Carefully he got up so as not to make any noise. He slithered (as best as a lion can slither) across the cracked earth as stealthily as possible. Closer, closer. He stopped behind a rather large termite mound and peeked through a hole that went right through. There they were! Lions, a lioness, and a cheetah! They were still a good distance away, but Ethan's eyesight was very good. He stayed crouched down and kept an eye on the group. "What could be going on? There's never any action around here," he thought to himself.
