Lions Rescue, Guard Beaten Ethiopian Girl: "A 12-year-old girl who was abducted and beaten by men trying to force her into a marriage was found being guarded by three lions who apparently had chased off her captors, a policeman said Tuesday...
She had been guarded by the lions for about half a day, he said. 'They stood guard until we found her and then they just left her like a gift and went back into the forest,' Wondimu said...
'A young girl whimpering could be mistaken for the mewing sound from a lion cub, which in turn could explain why they didn't eat her,' Williams said."
I think this could be the source for a children's story book, perhaps to be sold in the UN bookshop. I, for one, would have liked to have been rescued by lions; the marriage part, however, is just plain wrong.
