【原文】

I am working in the Garden Park Zoo in the southeast of London. I am an animal keeper. One morning I went to work as usual. When I got to the zoo, my fellow told me that a young lion escaped from the zoo because of the hurricane the night before. The manager told us to get ready to search for the lion at any time when needed.

In the afternoon, we were told to set out at once, for it was reported that the lion had appeared in the bushes in a lady’s garden. We drove our car as fast as we could. When we got there we found the garden had already been surrounded by police. And the lion could be seen in the bushes, eating something. We walked quietly towards the bushes. As we got near, I pointed my pipe at the lion and fired. The lion made a sudden angry noise and struggled to its feet. But failed. It fell over and lay still. In this way we caught the lion and took it to the zoo.
