   So I heard. You mean "little" in the moral sense as well?   
      
   Anyway this is heartbreaking story about a lion:

   Perhaps a "toothless lion"? Aesop stories contain so much wisdom:   
      
   The Lion in Love   
      
   A LION demanded the daughter of a woodcutter in marriage. The Father,   
   unwilling to grant, and yet afraid to refuse his request, hit upon   
   this expedient to rid himself of his importunities. He expressed his   
   willingness to accept the Lion as the suitor of his daughter on one   
   condition: that he should allow him to extract his teeth, and cut off   
   his claws, as his daughter was fearfully afraid of both. The Lion   
   cheerfully assented to the proposal. But when the toothless, clawless   
   Lion returned to repeat his request, the Woodman, no longer afraid,   
   set upon him with his club, and drove him away into the forest.   
      
   ***   
      
   It's all about having claws and teeth, right? Hey, Christians don't   
   skip on that. And the little monkey is there trying to have fun, but   
   Christians don't believe in fun.   
      
   Anyway, what's a man without an SUV?
