A wonderful story, beautifully told, especially with the part you added at the end.
It reminds me a little about a story in one of Harold Courlander’s books. If I remember correctly it’s also about a lion who lords his strength over the other animals. But I think in that tale a rabbit fools him at the end. Now, of course, I’l have to go and look that story up.
Thanks for this one.

For me, it’s one of the great stories of all time.
A good story. A thoughtful story. I’m going to get my grandkids to listen to it this weekend and see what they have to say about it.
Thanks
