A lion once wandered out of the forest and saw the beautiful daughter of a farmer working in her field. It fell in love with her at the very first sight. One day, the lion approached the girl’s father and asked for her hand in marriage. The farmer was surprised to see a lion approaching him with such a proposal. But he could not decline its request outright. He said to the lion, “My daughter does not like your claws and teeth. First, go and have them removed, and only then she will marry you.”
The love-lorn lion immediately had its teeth and claws removed.
But when the toothless and clawless lion came back to marry, it was badly beaten by the members of the girl’s family and driven away.
What harm could the poor lion do without teeth and claws?
Moral : No fool is bigger than a fool in love.
THE LION IN LOVE
