Bespectacled Heribert is a very ordinary teenager, he likes to collect stamps, read books and does not like to eat meat. Everything would be fine, but his father is terribly dissatisfied with all this. Why? Yes, because Heribert is a lion cub, and lions are not supposed to be vegetarians. How can a predatory father, accustomed to solving every problem by force, and his “unlucky” son, who is disgusted by any violence, get along in the same family? The lioness mother sends Heribert away from his father's wrath to work in the zoo, where everything turns out to be completely different from what one might think from the outside. Read about how the fate of the vegetarian lion cub will develop further, about all the unexpected adventures that await him, and whether he will be able to make peace with his father in the ironic and fascinating fairy tale “How to Become a Real Lion” by Hans Zippert. For middle and older children school age.
