Leo was a small and thin boy who lived in a small village. Some boys in the village often made fun of(嘲弄) _________ and Leo was afraid.

One day, an old wizard(术士)went by the village and saw Leo being made fun of. So when the bad boys left, he gave Leo a lion’s tail. “It’s a _________ tail,” the wizard said. “When someone wears it and acts bravely, he or she will turn into a strong _________.” Leo hung the lion’s tail behind his body and decided to teach the bad boys a lesson.

But when the boys came, Leo was afraid and tried to _________. However, they caught him. Suddenly, Leo _________ the tail and remembered what the wizard had said. He became brave. He looked them in the eyes and said he would make them _________ doing that. Leo felt the goose bumps(鸡皮疙瘩)all over his body. “This must be the _________ that I am turning into a lion.” he thought. The boy ran away in fear. Leo wanted to catch them, but he found his legs were short _________.    

When the wizard saw it, he came to Leo. Leo was very happy, although a little _________ because his lion body had lasted only a short time.

“You are great,” said the wizard. “But have you ever seen a lion fighting? No one fights with lions __________ they know how brave and strong lions are.”

It was true. Leo had __________ seen a lion fighting. He understood that a truly __________ boy would make the bad boys afraid and that what really worked was not the tail but the heart.
