Lafcadio, The Lion Who Shot Back
This is the story of a lion in the wilds of someplace that isn’t afraid of hunters like the others in his feline family. When he procures a gun from one such edible annoyance, he becomes a master shot… and eventually receives an offer from a circus man…
“But you can make lots of money and you can be the greatest shooter in the world and you can be famous and eat wonderful foods and wear silk shirts and yellow shoes and smoke fifty-cent cigars and go to wonderful parties and have everyone pat you on your back or scratch you behind the ears or whatever people do to lions; I don’t know.”
“Ears, shears, a glass of bears,” said the young lion. “What do I want with all that stuff?”
“Everyone wants that stuff,” said the circus man. “Come with me and be rich and famous and happy and be the greatest lion in the world.”
“Well,” said the young lion, “If you do come, will I get a marshmallow?”
