| 1 a lion once fell in love with a beautiful maiden and proposed marriage to her parents | |
| 2 the old people did not know what to say | |
| 3 they did not like to give their daughter to the lion yet they did not wish to enrage the king of beasts | |
| 4 at last the father said | |
| 5 we feel highly honoured by your majesty 's proposal but you see our daughter is a tender young thing and we fear that in the vehemence of your affection you might possibly do her some injury | |
| 6 might i venture to suggest that your majesty should have your claws removed and your teeth extracted then we would gladly consider your proposal again | |
| 7 the lion was so much in love that he had his claws trimmed and his big teeth taken out | |
| 8 but when he came again to the parents of the young girl they simply laughed in his face and bade him do his worst |
