Victor loves to hunt.
For years, he’s dreamed
of shooting a cheetah.
And today – he finally did!
The hunter proudly displays
his splendid new prize.
‘Tomorrow I’ll spend some more time enjoying
my beautiful trophy,’ he thinks.
That night
Victor dreams
about cheetahs who
have lost
a friend.
‘Those poor cheetahs,’
Victor says with a sorry sigh.
