ruler of Narnia, and He is the great
Lion, ASLAN.

reading, gymnastics, acting, and
being funny. When I grow up, I

like to be a zookeeper, so I can take
care of lions!

land of Narnia. Aslan isn't a tame lion,
but He is good.
• Aslan laid down his life on the stone
table to save His people in Narnia,
