Giovanni Paulo I
`

The lion is the most courageous of animals. When the hyena pack comes, though it means certain death, the lioness will stand and defend her cubs and fight to the end. Lions are also among the smartest and most vigilant of animals. With each step she cautiously tests the grass before her.
`
The sheep is the most cowardly of animals. When the hyena pack comes she will run for her life and leave her lambs behind. Sheep are also the dumbest and most gullible of animals. She has no mind of her own and will follow the sheep in front of her over the cliff.
