The Missionary
While out walking on the African veld one day,
a missionary suddenly came face to face with a
lion. Thinking that his situation was hopeless,
he sank to his knees in prayer, but then became
greatly relieved when the lion got down on his
knees beside him.
"Dear brother lion," said the missionary, "how
heartening it is to find you joining me in
Christian prayer when a few moments ago I
feared for my life!"
"Don't interrupt," growled the lion,
"while I'm saying grace!"
