Uncle Lion
Sometimes, children surprise grownups with very extraordinary stories. Their stories almost sound like lies. "Mom, an elephant visited the school today!" "A lion chased me on my way home". Even if they are not lies, parents no longer find them shocking after some time and grow indifferent to them and just nod half-heartedly. But what if everything a child says is true?
Uncle Lion is about Sol's uncle who is a lion. It doesn't mean he is as scary as a lion. He is a real lion! But nobody believes Sol when he says he has an uncle who is a lion. They all tease and ridicule him. When Sol gets upset, his friend Jin approaches to him. The two of them have a lot of fun with Uncle Lion. When news spreads that Jin has met Uncle Lion, the other kids start believing Sol. They all want to be friends with Uncle Lion.
