And so the lion fell in love with the lamb…" he murmured. I looked away, hiding my eyes as I thrilled to the word." What a stupid lamb, " I sighed." What a sick, masochistic lion.

About This Quote

The story of the lion and the lamb is a tale often told to children. The story goes that a lion was so jealous of another lion’s lamb that one day, he decided to eat it. Soon after, the second lion came looking for his lamb, and he too met his death at the hands of the first lion. After this, the first lion realized what he had done and was filled with remorse and sadness.

He changed into a human and approached the other lion’s body. He said, “So sorry. I was wrong to try and eat you.

I admire your strength and courage and I wish you were still alive.” The other lion replied: “I’m glad you understand now; but I don’t understand what made you think I wanted to be eaten by you in the first place!”
