"You still haven't brought my lunch?"the lion roared.
"I tried my best O Lion, but I apologize for not having succeeded," the lioness replied softly, scared of the wrath of the lion. She was getting older, and thus the agility and swiftness of her youth were now lost in past.Hunting for prey turned out to be difficult.
"So what do you suggest? Shall I bring a new lioness?" There was wickedness in his eyes.
The Lioness didn't want to let go of her love. She walked out of the cave, hoping to get lucky with a prey this time.

DeleteSad that the lioness had become a prey to her own love. But any love that is manipulative is not true. She should just kick his lazy butt and demand that he gets his own food :)
