Born Free. The same movie and story that inspired the once very popular song of the same title? Do you know the story of Christian the Lion? How he was found in a fancy store in London, in a cramped cage, for sale? Christian was befriended by a couple that could not bear to watch the poor lion cub stay in a cage. A mini lion king, a beautiful baby African Lion, alone in London.Not understanding what they were getting into they took him home to their flat in London. The church allowed them to let Christian exercise in the church yards.
