Leo was a small and thin boy living in a small village. Some boys in the village often bullied him and Leo was afraid.
One day, an old wizard (魔法师) went by the village and saw Leo being bullied. So when the bad boys left, he gave Leo a lion's tail. “It's a magic tail.” the wizard said, “When someone wears it and acts bravely, he or she will turn into a strong lion.” Leo hung the lion's tail behind his body and decided to teach the bad boys a lesson.
But when the boys came, Leo was afraid and tried to run away. Yet they caught him. Suddenly, Leo showed the tail and remembered what the wizard had said. He became brave. He looked them in the eyes and said he would make them regret doing that. Leo felt the goose bumps (鸡皮疙瘩) all over his body, “This means that I am turning into a lion.” he thought. The boys ran away in fear. Leo wanted to catch them, but he found his legs were as short as before.
When the wizard saw it, he came to Leo. Leo was very happy, though a little disappointed because his lion body had lasted only a short time.
“You are great.” said the wizard, “But have you ever seen a lion fighting? No one fights with lions because they know how brave and strong lions are.” Yes. Leo had never seen a lion fighting. He suddenly understood that he didn't really turn into a lion and that what really worked was his brave heart.
