The Man and the Lion. 29 by TownsendA MAN and a Lion traveled together through the forest.
They soon began to boast of their respective superiority
to each other in strength and prowess. As they were
disputing, they passed a statue carved in stone, which
represented "a Lion strangled by a Man." The
traveler pointed to it and said: "See there! How
strong we are, and how we prevail over even the king of
beasts." The Lion replied: "This statue was
made by one of you men. If we Lions knew how to erect
statues, you would see the Man placed under the paw of
the Lion." Pe284=Ch59, Avi24, Laf3.10, Jacobs35, TMI J1454. |
