He climbed over the fence into the lion’s
den
and taunted a lion to come to him until
a huge lion growled
and started toward him. When he knew
he was going to die, he folded his hands
in the prayer position for a moment. Then
sped out of the lion’s den up over the fence.
Luck was with him that day because the
lion didn’t pursue him and kill him.
Usually when a person climbs into a
lions’ den, at the least they get maimed.
At the most, they never see this world
again, having been torn to shreds.
