Once upon a time, in the lands of Africa, there was a small and secrete village called Roar, which was inhabited by fierce and hungry Lions. There is no near by inhabited villages only the lions feeding ground, which they called Lamb Central, here is where the lions come at night to savor lambs. Over many years
the Lion and the Lambs had great hate for each other, the lambs tried many times to fight the lions in order to have their rights, but never succeeded. The lambs thought of every way possible to make peace with the lions, but the lions only had two things in mind and that was to eat the lambs and feed their cubs. One courageous little lamb named Wooly would sit up all night figuring out ideas on how to save his friends and family from the teeth of the lions. He would secretly venture through the village of Roar to see what the lions do after dark. But one night something unexpected happened. The floor started shaking and loud BOOMS were defining his ears. Wooly was terrified to look into the distance to see a rare stampede of elephants. Wooly in a panic rush tried to run back to his friends and family to warn them, when in his pathway stood a tall and fierce some elephant with one leg up ready to stomp the lamb. Wooly stood there as still as could be and started praying for his village. The elephant looked oddly confused and put his leg down and started apologizing dearly to the Wooly. “I’m sorry” said the elephant. “For I thought this was the village Roar”. The elephant waved his trunk and the elephants fled. Wooly’s terror was not over just yet, as he looked up to find that he was surrounded by Lions, but with a different look than usual on their faces. “Thank you young Lamb for you saved us from defeat from the elephants” said the Lions. “How can we repay you?” Wooly thought this was a great opportunity to make peace, even though he was making peace with the lions who killed half of him family. “Let’s make peace, No Lion or Lamb shall be killed by a Lion or Lamb” The Lions where shocked that the lamb would make such a deal like such, but had no choice than to agree. As time went past the lambs and lions made friends, finding other ways to gather food and joined their villages together. From that day on the lion lay down with the lamb.

Your allegory works well - I like the way you have used the saying about the lion laying down with the lamb. Your allegory has a very simple, fairy-tale feel to it which you have emphasised in your language choices - this is something you could expand on when you write your author commentary. I also like the way your commandment for lambs and lions to not harm each other echos the commandments on Animal Farm - that's a nice, subtle reference. I'm wondering about your choice of name for your lamb and why you chose to name him at all - again something for you to comment on in your commentary. Might be useful to check your spelling and do an edit of your allegory...
