And Daniel walked into the cave, Simon screamed. “Daniel the lion is here.” Daniel looked and then turned picked up a stick, as the lion moved closer, Simon moved out of Daniel’s way.

After a short fight, Daniel was freed. He and Simon left the cave. Simon stated, “The lions are hard to get along with. I am happy that one is gone.” Daniel stayed silent.

 What is your lion? (Fight), What keeps you silent? Who is hard to get along with?

The symbols in this short story allow a look at what motivates us to love, learn, accomplish, and dream.
