This young woman went oul into the forest to pick up dead limbs for fire- wood, "She tied up her bundle of faggots, balanced it on her head and was trudg- ing home along the narrow path when just as she turned a sharp corner around an enormous rock she saw & large lion in the path, and they were instantly face to face in uncomfortably chose quarters. 4 "The girl stopped so short that her bindle of wood fell to the ground be- hind her, The sudden apparition caus- éd the lion to settle back almost on his hind quariers, He wes ge:t.ng into the altitude for a spring, but his surprise was so great that very likely he did not know exactly what he was going to do.

She whipped it off her shoul devs, swung it through the air, and the cloth came down like a mop over the face of the lion. "This was an entirely new exper.ence for the animal, He was blinded, batf- fied, dumbfounded. He sprang out of the path and fled like a rabbit. "No one knows just how it happened, but he carried the gown with him. A Lit of it may have twisted around his neck or perhaps some of it got into his mouth; af any rate, the lion and the gown disappeared together into the bush and the young woman was not anxious to hunt for her garment, "Some astonishment was create] by the reappearance of the girl in the vil- lage with her bundle of wood on her head, but in the attire of the mothers of the previous generation, which was nothing at all. Bits of the gown were later picked off the bushes for some dis- tance from the place of this curious meeting, and the larger part of it was finally found in one place, but so full of holes that it was beyond patching.
