I AM LION

          I am Lion.  Magician strong.  See me pretend that I am King.

          I am Lion.  Though Lioness is the queen by nature, male Lion is an imposter.

          I am Lion.  Strength.  Speed.  Agility.  Patience.  Perseverance.  Grace.  Cooperation.  Family loyalty.  All these I teach.  But I also teach pretense.

          I am Lion.  The value of a good mane should not be underestimated.  It makes you seem larger than you really are--larger than Life.

          I am Lion.  With my magician's mane creating the illusion of greatness, I become great.  Pretense becomes reality.  My intent to fool succeeds.  I become what I pretend to be.

           I am Lion.  I am the King.
