The next day, things were back to normal—Almost.
Miss Merriweather’s left arm was in a cast. The doctor had told her not to work too hard.
“I will have my lion to help me,” Miss Merriweather thought. But the lion did not come to the library that morning.
At three o’clock, Miss Merriweather walked over to the story corner. The story lady was just beginning a story for

the children. The lion was not there.
People in the library kept looking up from their books and computer screens, hoping they would see a familiar furry

face. But the lion did not come that day.
The lion did not come the next day, either. Or the day after that.
One evening, Mr. McBee stopped by Miss Merriweather’s office on his way out. “Can I do anything for you before I go,

Miss Merriweather?” he asked her.
“No, thank you,” said Miss Merriweather. She was looking out the window. Her voice was very quiet. Even for the

library.
Mr. McBee frowned as he walked away. He thought there probably was something he could do for Miss Merriweather, after

all.
Mr. McBee left the library. But he didn’t not go home.
He walked around the neighborhood. He looked under cars. He looked behind bushed.
He looked in backyards and trash cans and three houses.
Finally he circled all the way back to the library.
The lion was sitting outside, looking in through the glass doors.
“Hello, Lion,” said Mr. McBee.
The lion did not turn around.
“I thought you might like to know,” said Mr. McBee, “that there’s a new rule at the library. No roaring allowed,

unless you have a very good reason – say, if you’re trying to help a friend who’s been hurt, for example.”
The lion’s ears twitched. He turned around.
But Mr. McBee was already walking away.
The next day, Mr. McBee walked down the hall to Miss Merriweather’s office. “What is it, Mr. McBee?” asked Miss

Merriweather in her new, said quiet voice.
“I thought you might like to know,” said Mr. McBee, “that there’s a lion. In the library.”
Miss Merriweather jumped up from her chair and ran down the hall.
Mr. McBee smiled. “No running!” he called after her. Miss Merriweather didn’t listen.
Sometimes there was a good reason to break the rules. Even in the library.
