Braima Moiwai, The Lion Story,page 15 <br /> She led Old Lion down the wide trail across the Savannah into the <br /> rainforest. The trail narrowed as they entered the virgin forest where huge <br /> trees were covered with vines that had never been touched by a cutlass. <br /> They crossed a small creek and climbed a rocky mound, then stopped. <br /> "The other lion's over there," she said and pointed ahead. <br /> Old Lion walked forward until he reached the edge of a deep well. <br /> When he looked into the water, he saw another lion.
