Roar

It happened on Barney’s ninth birthday.  He woke early and dressed and went down to the orchard to let the hens out.  Barney lived a few miles from a big Safari Park, where there were lots of lions. I hope I hear one this morning, he thought, as though it was wishing me a happy birthday. 

Sure enough, as he opened the door of the hen house, there came that sound he quite often heard when the wind was in the right direction, a deep, rolling roar, ending with a couple of grunts.

Funny, he thought, it sounds much nearer than usual.

Barney stood looking at the field beyond the orchard, a field that was golden now with a crop of wheat.

Suddenly the wheat began to sway as an animal pushed through it, a large animal, yellowish in colour with a thick black mane.

Summary of Roar	Close
This story was started by international best-selling children’s author Dick King-Smith. Read about Dick on his author profile page. The story so far...Barney, our hero, is granted a wish on his 9th birthday by a magical lion called Alistair. Without thinking, Barney wishes he can roar like a lion and, hey presto, he can! The only thing is he can no longer speak anything else and finding his new voice from friends and family is proving extremely difficult. Barney and his parents set off for a trip to Africa where Alistair has told our hero he will have to perform a great task to get his voice back.
