Wenet's Cousin

There was, in those amazing savannahs of Africa, a pride of lions that domineered over the lands, and one day a lioness called Wenet, famous for super hunting skills over everything that walked, especially rabbits, visited her people in the pride. Amongst them was her cousin-a lioness like herself, but she, too, loved rabbits, yet she was opposed to killing them-even when she was hungry.

The pride members taught her how to hunt and how to get over the aversion to killing rabbits, but in vain. The result was she just could not do that and mostly starved rather than kill a rabbit.

Despite this, the pride still loved and accepted her, and she did find other ways of contributing: very good at tracking, helping the pride locate its prey, helping in protecting the pride from other predators, and always keen on the lookout for possible dangers.

In time, pride members learned to respect her decision against killing rabbits and shared their kills with her quite often. They named her "Rabbit-Heart" and always looked upon her for any signs of compassion and mercy. She might not have hunted like others in her pride, but she had a big heart and was always ready to help her family. Every time Wenet came to visit, she would be amazed by how compassionate her cousin was to the rabbits.
