The lion at the little French zoo is a favourite of all the townspeople. Every day they stop by to feed him tidbits and say, “Bonjour, Happy Lion.” Naturally, when the lion finds his door open, he decides it would only be proper to visit all his friendly neighbours in return. But, wait—sacré bleu! Why is everyone fleeing in terror?
