Lion Suitor
I got into the secret chamber of the princess by hiding in a lion made out of gold. The king brought the lion to his daughter, and when she and her friends were sleeping, I whispered to her, “Oh, lovely princess, if you only knew what I have gone through to find you.”
She sprang from the bed screaming, “The lion! The lion!”
Her friends took no heed. They thought it was just a nightmare.
I continued to whisper to her until she understood who I am.
