Face to Face with a Lion
“Yes, I came face to face with a lion once. To make matters worse, I was alone and weaponless . . .”
“Goodness! What did you do?”
“What could I do? First, I tried looking straight into his eyeballs, but he kept crawling up on me. Then I thought of plunging my arm down his throat, grabbing him by the tail and turning him inside out, but I decided it would be too dangerous. Yet, he kept creeping up on me; I had to think fast . . . .”
“How did you get away?”
“Well, I just left him and passed on to the other cages.”
