Once a stray newborn lion roamed for days, alone and fearful of its new and deadly environment. Hunger-stricken, it found several sheep. A mother sheep embraced the hungry, haggard, screaming baby lion as her own. She taught her young lamb how to graze for pasture, communicate with other sheep, and warn them of danger.

The lion cub grew up swiftly and influential among the sheep. Years passed, and suddenly there was a young lion, mighty, with a long mane and tail, behaving precisely like a sheep. It bleated like a sheep and ate grass instead of meat. This young vegetarian lion acted like a timid, meek lamb. One day, an older, wilder, vicious lion came into the green field and was delighted to see this flock of sheep. Surrounded by the fleeing sheep, this adult lion pursued the joyous youngster with his tail high in the air.

'I can understand the sheep fleeing away from me, but I cannot see why this young lion could run at the sight of me,' the older lion reflected. The older lion ignored his hunger and pounced on the fleeing juvenile lion.

'What is wrong with you?' the older lion reprimanded him. Why do you fear me, my buddy?' 'Please let me go,' the little lion belated gently in sheep language. Hurt me not. I am merely a sheep raised among the flock.'

'I know why you bleat.' He pulled the juvenile lion towards the lake at the end of the meadow. When the adult lion reached the lake's beach, he shoved the baby lion's head into the water. 'Open your eyes!' he shook the younger one, still with his eyes closed. Look! You are a lion, a fierce lion. You are not a lamb.'

'Bleat, bleat. Please do not murder me. Go. This sheep-lion bemoaned his insignificance as a lion.

The older lion shook the young, submissive lion. When he opened his eyes, the reflection of his head resembled that of a lion, just like the lion shaking him. This is my broad face reflecting in the water. They are one.

'Now! So, roar instead of bleat!' urged the older lion.

Asserting his lion hood, the youngster roared, but only weak bleat-mingled roars could be heard. The sheep lion finally roared as the older lion continued to slap his paws. Both lions ran over the pasture, through the woodland, and back to the lion lair.
