Since, no one has replied yet, here is my attempt.

<interactive session>

	ibraheem@ignoramus:$ python
	Python 2.1 (#1, Apr 20 2001, 17:50:32)
	[GCC egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release)] on linux2
	Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
	>>> list1=['a','b','c']
	>>> list2=['d','e','f']
	>>> do_it=lambda x,y: x + y
	>>> for i in map(do_it,list1,list2):
	...     print i
	...
	ad
	be
	cf
	>>>    

<\interactive session>
