The Cheetah and the Lion

By Bruce Fisher

"The Cheetah and the Lion" is a fictional story about a boy named Pino who is troubled by many of the things all children are such as a lack of self-confidence, fear, bullies and prejudice. City street gangs hunt 11-year-old Pino daily to and from school and as he runs errands for his loving frail Gramma, Pino's sole care-taker. One day, a mysterious hero named Zee saves Pino from a gang attack and begins teaching Pino life lessons such as understanding that faith in yourself is foundation of all faith; defeating fear with caution; standing up to bullies; making friends by being one; the real danger in anger; and how hate makes prejudice. At Gramma's funeral, Pino's mind drifts to the Magic Garden he first saw with Zee, where Pino meets his mother who died giving him birth and his no-longer frail Gramma. Pino's long-lost father Charlie attends his Gramma's burial and soon becomes "dad" who helps Pino defeat the gangs and the hateful father who wants to kill Pino's new friend Anna.
