ПОМОГИТЕ ПЕРЕВЕСТИ! Darkness falls over a small village in Kenya. Kenya is a country in Africa. The people who live here are herders, and their cows are resting in a nearby wooden cattle-pen. All is quiet. Suddenly the cows raise their heads. They feel something is outside their pen. It’s a female lion ready to break in and attack. Her sharp claws rip at the walls of the pen. The frightened cows run in different directions. The lioness tears through the fence and races toward the nearest cow. All the noise wakens the herders. They run to the pen, but they’ re too late. One cow is dead, and the lioness is gone. Scared o ff by the herders, she left her prey behind. The lioness returns to her two hungry cubs without a fresh kill. They greet her and rub their faces against hers, but she cannot stay long. She has to hunt again so her cubs won’t go hungry. The herders wait for the lioness to return. Losing livestock to lions is a big deal for these herders, as cows, sheep and goats are like money for them. They use the animals to pay for what they need. If one is killed, life becomes harder for the herders.
