The three lions of Adis Ababa
This wonderful story happened in 2005, in Ethiopia We all know the complex situation in which women live in this area of the world, especially girls.Once they reach the age they can conceive, the little ones are sold, ceded to organize marriages by force, or simply, kidnapped.This last is precisely what happened to our protagonist, 12 years old .
We do not know his name, or how it was that day when a group of people They ripped from his family in any town near Adis Ababa , to take her to the jungle and arrange a sale for her.It was loaded into a jeep and carried along narrow roads without knowing, that in the remoteness of that vast stage, was a group of lions accustomed to watching their possessions and everything that happens by that area.
The girl did not stop defending herself at any time, she screamed and cried at all times during the journey, until finally, I called the attention of our three lions.Perhaps the felines have the sense of the curiosity specially developed, and they were attracted to that «human puppy» defending itself from the always dangerous human adults.
They did not hesitate.The lions began to follow them for several kilometers, seeing how The girl was beaten continuously.Until they finally attacked the kidnappers, hurting them and getting them to run away in a hurry leaving their young captive.It was easy for them.
And what happened next? You wonder, then the best came.The lions stayed with the girl for a day and a half taking care of her like one more of her pack, like one more offspring.They protected her and gave her warmth.She was not scared at any time, after what had happened, the animal company was a relief...
When the police found her a day and a half later, the lions simply left her go with peace of mind, as if they had been waiting for you.This is how the sergeant Wondimu Wedajo of the police, astonished by what happened.The animals felt sorry for the girl and did not hesitate to defend and care for her of her, according to biologists and experts in the behavior of lions: "The groans of a girl can be confused by the meow of a lion cub ", hence it is possible that they were females who starred in that wonderful event in Ethiopia.
