The Lion in Love
A Lion once fell in love with a beautiful maiden pretty young lady and proposed marriage to her parents. The old people did not know what to say.
They did not like to give their daughter to the Lion, yet they did not wish to enrage the King of Beasts.
At last the father said, "We feel highly honored by your Majesty's proposal, but you see our daughter is a tender young thing, and we fear that in the vehemence of your affection you might possibly do her some injury. Might I venture to suggest that your Majesty should have your claws removed, and your teeth extracted. Then we would gladly consider your proposal again."
