Nine young lions greet the morning together.
At first, they slept in a tangled heap.

Slowly, the sleeping pride began to stir, enjoying the morning by the waters.

One young lion greeted the morning with a small roar.

A morning stretch quickly became an invitation to play.

Soon, paws flew and bodies tumbled.

A lion plays with a log while his companions rest.

Between the games came quieter moments.

The pride separated into groups.

Each explored the morning in their own way.

Yet even as they wandered, the bonds between them remained.
