He was searching for the famous Sparkling Pool where the animals went to cool down. When he finally arrived, he saw a very large, fluffy lion named Leo sitting right in the middle of the path. Leo had a magnificent golden-orange mane and a silly tiny blue ribbon tied to his tail, but he did not look silly at all. In fact, Leo was wearing a giant frown and letting out a low, rumbling growl to keep everyone away.
