The Lion, and other tales (1869)
“ The home of the largest Lions is far away in the wild mountains and great plains of Africa. The Lion lives also in Asia, but he is not so large and strong as the Lion of Africa. In the north of Africa the Arabs live in constant dread of the Lion. The Arabs, you know, dwell in tents; and when a number of tents are put up near each other, they form an Arab village. Often, at night, a Lion will come and attack one of these tent villages. ”
