Poor Tom! No one will believe him when he says he's seen a lion carrying a string of sausages! This charming short story perfectly captures the feelings of a child whom everyone refuses to believe. Narrator Philip Jackson captures Tom's despair, his parents' frustration, and Tom's exhilaration when Clare, his classmate, agrees with him. Clare, the smartest girl in Tom's class, hatches a bold plan that Tom bravely sets into motion to prove that he's not a liar. Young listeners will be awe-struck by the lion and will identify with Tom's situation. S.G.B. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine--

Nobody will believe Tom when he tells them that he has seen a lion - especially when he says it was padding through the orchard with a string of sausages hanging from its mouth. So Tom sits up, night after night, waiting for the lion to return.
