There is a story about a lioness, who was big and young

going about in search of pray. Seeing a flock of sheep, she jumped

upon them. She died in effort and a little baby lion was born,

motherless. It was taken care of by the sheep. The sheep brought

it up. It grew up with them, ate grass and bleated like sheep. And in

time it became a big full grown lion, thinking it to be a sheep.

One Day another lion came in search of prey and was

astonished to find that in the midst of this flock of sheep was a lion,

fleeting like sheep at the approach of danger. He tried to get near

the sheep lion to tell it that it was not a sheep but a lion, but the

poor animal fled at this approach. However he watched his

opportunity and one day found the sheep-lion sleeping. He

approached it and said."You are a lion." "I am a sheep," cried the

other lion and could not believe the contrary, but bleated. The Lion

dragged him towards a lake and said, "Look here, here is my

reflection and yours." Then came the comparison. He looked at

the lion and then at his own reflection and in a moment came the

idea that he was a lion. The lion roared, the bleating was gone.
