Soon after seeing that a lion---Aslan---is the one who is singing, Andrew completely rejects this idea; rather than continuing to hear singing, he convinces himself that he is hearing roaring instead. Andrew does not want to believe, thus and he convinces himself that what is before his eyes is not real (126).

Tigers are known to lie stealthily in ambush and quickly strike on their prey and go straight for the neck. The tiger is bold and clinical…
