The lion was greatly surprised to see a young lion cub running away with the same fear of the lion as the sheep. He jumped in among the flock of sheep and roared: "Halt, halt!", but the sheep ran on, and the little lion ran also. The lion pursued only the cub, not the sheep, and said: "Wait, I wish to speak to you." The cub answered: "I tremble, I fear, I cannot stand before you." "Why are you running about with the sheep? You are a little lion yourself!" "No, I am a sheep. I tremble, I am afraid of you. Let me go. Let me go with the sheep!"
