Part 4/8:
As time passes, Mia's connection with Charlie blossoms. The lion cub becomes her closest companion, and she begins to embrace life on the farm, engaging not only with Charlie but also with other animals. This transformation provides a major alleviation to her previous discontent, as she learns about the farm's operations and the importance of the tourists it attracts. However, Mia forbids her father from selling Charlie, a stance that leads to significant conflict between father and daughter.
Mia’s circumstances, though improving, take a turn. A planned school trip separates her from Charlie, which amplifies her anxiety and compels her to run away to reunite with him. The deep bond they share is a lifeline for both of them in their respective struggles.
