Lucy and her brother, Tom had taken their goats to graze at a pasture that was close to the forest. In the afternoon, Lucy was sitting on a rock, when she suddenly heard Tom scream. Standing in front of him was a leopard. The leopard, himself still a baby, looked scared. As Tom screamed again and fell down in panic, the leopard leapt and caught his foot. Lucy acted swiftly. She picked two sticks up and banging them together, she created a lot of noise. Shouting, she ran towards the leopard. The frightened animal let go of Tom and ran back. Once the story of the attack spread, the forest guards reached Lucy’s house. With her help they tracked the leopard. They took him further into the forest and away from the village so that he might not attack anyone anymore. Lucy had saved not only Tom but also the life of the baby leopard.
