The great lion shook his head, and stared very hard at the following.
No-one moved. They did not, they dared not.
"Please can you tell us just one thing?” they asked - for they knew that just one good truth might carry them through to the eternal life.
“I cannot tell you just one thing. I cannot tell you anything. I can try to explain. I can sometimes describe. But I cannot tell you how to live your life, or how to find the eternal answer.”
“Yet we have heard your ear is close to the door of the gods … and so therefore, can you tell us what it is the gods speak off in the silence, and in their meetings?”
“I do not listen, I dare not listen, at their great door - for caution my own ears will explode.” He said this with a rumbling purr, and then continued:
“Give me your prayers and I will put them in a box, and I will keep them for a century in safekeeping; and then at the end of this age we will take them from their safe-nest and you will see each one will have been fulfilled. This, I can tell you.”
