Christian, The Lion

My friend, Shampa, told me to put this on the blog, so here it is. It is a cuddly lion story and the world needs more cuddly lion stories. As Shampa said, it is a little "Siegfried and Roy", if only in the styling and the fact that there are lions present. Unlike Siegfried and Roy, these two men, John and Ace, were actually fashionably dressed for their time, and I dare say, the hippest people on the African savanna that day. And, what they were wearing aside, it takes some courage and faith to just stand there while an adult lion, who has been living in the wild, runs up to you, regardless of whether you raised him from cub. The most amazing part of the story, at least to me, was that you used to be able to purchase baby lions at Harrods, even if you lived in a flat.
