The young man had asked for a job with the circus - any job just so he could travel with the circus. The owner of the circus, thinking he might be able to make an assistant lion tamer out of the young man, took him out to the practice cage.
The head lion tamer, a beautiful young woman, was just starting her rehearsal. As she entered the cage, she removed her cape with a flourish and, standing in a gorgeous costume, motioned to one of the lions. Obediently, the lion crept toward the young woman, nuzzled her cheek, and rolled over twice.
"Well," said the owner to the young man, "think you could do that?"
"I'm sure I could, Sir," said the young man, "but you'll have to get that darn lion out of there first." |
