The first thing the lion thinks about is, “I must be able to catch the 38 antelope, or I will starve to 39 .” So almost simultaneously(同时地), the antelope and the lion get up and start running toward the 40 sun.

I learned a lot from realizing this 55 . Now I understand better about the world. Competition is important for us all.
