In the early morning,Patrick realized there was something in the wind.
His mother had been sad in recent days,not sick,just strangely sad.The lion had just lain down beside him,with his head warm on Patrick's feet,when his father cleared his throat and began,“You'll soon be eight,son.A boy needs a proper education.We've found the right place for you,a school near Salisbury in England.”
His heart filled with a terrible fear,in fact,all Patrick could think of was his white lion.“But the lion,”he cried,“What about the lion?”his father said,“I'm afraid there's something else I have to tell you”.Looking across at his wife,the dad took a deep breath.Then he told Patrick he had met a circus owner from France,who was over in Africa looking for lions to buy.He'd come to their farm in a couple of days.
“No!You can't send him to a circus,”said Patrick.“People will come to see him.He'll be shut up behind bars.I ever promised him he never would be.And they will laugh at him.He'd rather die.Any animal would!”But as he looked across the table at his dad and mom,he knew their minds were quite made up.
Patrick felt completely betrayed.He waited till he heard his dad's sound breathing next door.
With his lion at his heels,he crept downstairs in his pajamas,took down his father's rifle from the rack(搁物架)and stepped out into the night.He ran and ran till his legs could run no more.As the
sun came up over the grassland,he climbed to the top of a hill and sat down,his arms round the lion's neck.The time had come.
“Be wild now,”he whispered.“You've got to be wild.Don't ever come home.All my life I'll think of you,I promise I will.”He buried his head in the lion's neck.Then,Patrick clambered(艰难地爬)down off the hill and walked away.
When he looked back,the lion was still sitting there watching him;but then he stood up,yawned,stretched,and sprang down after him.Patrick shouted at him,but he kept coming.He threw sticks.He threw stones.Nothing worked.
There was only one thing left to do.With tears filling his eyes and his mouth,he lifted the rifle to his shoulder and fired over the lion's head.
