The look on the cow’s face, though, suggests that this is nothing new- something to be expected… In this world, you are either preying or being preyed upon… is preying even a word? Oh I don’t know… it’s early.
So as the other lions look onto the scene with rabid delight, only a miracle, or a villager with a gun, can save Bessie now… particularly sad, as this cow would have continued to live symbiotically with man, providing nourishment and security… which makes me wonder why man isn’t in the picture… I mean, either secure the animals at night, or at least stand a watch…
Well, we’ll see how much of this I have right. Could be just random animal kingdom stuff, with no bearing at all on a building plot line… but we shall see…
