The Hollow under the Tree

The railway car twisted, buckled and split apart, sending splinters of metal and wood in every direction. The lion was thrown free of the debris. He landed in bushes a hundred yards farther on.

He lay there for a minute or two before rising painfully. He shook himself and limped past the bits of wood and metal to begin walking up the dark hill ahead.

The lion came to a post in the ground. He smelled the disagreeable odor of the many dogs that had stopped there to lift their legs.

Attached to the post was a sign:

Welcome to High Park
No Littering
