"Chap walking through the zoo comes across a lion standing on the path in front of him. There's a face off and the story builds nicely as to what might happen, which isn't quite what you'd expect, as the lion eventually turns away from him in a way he views as disdainful. Because of this he spends the rest of his life feeling worthless." (John L. Probert)
