The Lion in Love

There  lived  a  lion  that  fell  in  love  with  the  daughter  of  the  woodcutter.  The  woodcutter  did  not  want  to  give  his  daughter's  hand  to  the  lion,  but  he  was  afraid  to  refuse  the  lion.  The  woodcutter  said  to  the  lion,  I  will  give  you  my  daughter's  hand  on  one  condition.  The  lion  asked,  what  condition  is  that?  The  woodcutter  replied,  you  should  allow  me  to  extract  your  teeth  and  cut  off  your  claws  as  my  daughter  is  fearfully  afraid  of  both.  The  lion  loved  the  girl  very  much,  so  he  agreed  with  the  condition  of  the  woodcutter.  But  when  the  Toothless  clawless  lion  asked  for  the  girl's  hand,  the  woodcutter,  no  longer  afraid,  drove  him  away  into  the  forest.
