Patrick's Pride

Patrick is a lion cub. He loves his family. Each morning, Mom and Mama make breakfast.

Then Mom and Mama put on their polka dot jackets and walk Patrick to school.

One morning, Patrick was acting odd. He did not eat his breakfast.

“What’s wrong, Patrick?” asked Mama.

“Can I walk to school by myself today?” Patrick asked.

Mom and Mama were sad.

They wondered if Patrick was getting too old to be treated like a cub.
