Once upon a time there was a big lion that lived in a zoo. One say, he was very hungry. When bill, the keeper, gave him his dinner, he ate it up quickly. Quite by mistake he ate up the keeper, too.
When it was time for lunch, Bill did not show up. So the other keepers sat sown to eat, still wondering why young Bill was not there.
Suddenly there came a loud sound from the Lion House. They went to see what the matter was. There they found the big lion lying on the ground looking very big and fat and not at all happy.
The keepers looked at one another and all of them said at once. “Of course! The big lion has swallowed poor Bill!”
They immediately got a bottle of brown medicine.
Then they put the big lion to sleep for the operation. They cut up the front of his fur coat, and helped Bill to get out.
They sewed the big lion up. When the lion woke up, Bill felt well again.
