The Lions

A father lion pulled his son aside and said, “It is time you learned the ways of the lion. We are called ‘King of the Jungle.’ Why, I do not know. We neither live in the jungle nor do we have a monarchic system of government. But what I think people are getting at is this: They are showing us respect because we are secure enough in our manhood to lay around all day and let the women do all the work.”
