Chapter 4"Lena's worries"

The atmosphere at Lena's house was tense, just like at Wilhelm's. Lena's father and mother were also watching TV about the news of the nine teenagers finding the lion and tiger cubs. Maja and her younger sister Klara were sitting on the floor, playing with dolls.

Lena sat on the couch, holding her little white kitten, Bella, and stroking her head absent-mindedly. Stellan, her father, noticed her worried expression and turned to her with concern.

"Lena, is everything okay?" he asked.

Lena looked up at her father, startled. "Oh, yeah, I'm fine," she said, but her voice was unconvincing.

Stellan frowned. "Are you sure? You seem worried about something."

Lena hesitated for a moment before finally speaking up. "It's just...I keep thinking about those poor cubs and what would have happened to them if we hadn't found them. It's just really upsetting."

Stellan nodded, understanding. "I know, it's a lot to take in. But what you and your friends did was really brave and important. You saved those cubs' lives."

Lena nodded, but she still looked worried. Amalia, her mother, spoke up, trying to reassure her daughter.

"You did the right thing, Lena. You and your friends should be proud of yourselves. You made a difference in those animals' lives."

Lena smiled weakly, feeling a bit better. "Thanks, Mom. I just can't stop thinking about what could have happened if we hadn't found them."

Stellan put a hand on Lena's shoulder. "But you did find them, and you did the right thing. That's all that matters."

The family sat together, talking about the news and how proud they were of Lena and her friends for their bravery and compassion. Lena still felt a bit worried, but she knew that she had done the right thing, and that was all that mattered.
