A HUNTER, not very bold, was searching for the tracks of a Lion.
He asked a man felling oaks in the forest if he had seen any
marks of his footsteps or knew where his lair¹ was.  "I will,"
said the man, "at once show you the Lion himself."  The Hunter,
turning very pale and chattering² with his teeth from fear,
replied, "No, thank you.  I did not ask that; it is his track
only I am in search of, not the Lion himself." 


The hero is brave in deeds as well as words.
