HNBC p26 5 dialogue Billy

The speaker expresses their love for wildlife and points out the presence of various animals, including a black lion on the lawn. They express surprise at the lion's color and wonder if animals understand English. The speaker's interaction with the lion takes a dangerous turn when it grabs their leg and they call for help. I love wildlife in its natural element. Look at all your lovely animals, Lucy, lots and lots. And look, here's a lovely little lion, a real live black lion asleep on the lawn. I don't believe it. Leopards are yellow. Look, Lucy, he's laughing. Do animals understand the English language? Would you like a lettuce leaf, little lion? Oh, let go. Oh, help, Lucy, he's got my leg.
