“Ten meters ahead a leopard leaped in front of me from a tree. I froze. It took a step forward. I closed my eyes and thought of mother, father and sister. A moments passed and nothing happened. I was still there. I opened my eyes to see the leopard was gone. I ran back home. But leopard in not my biggest fear.My biggest fear is, if something was to happen to me what would happen to my parents.”
