Summary

<i>The coming of an owl is considered as a sign of the approach of a Lion. An insult offered by a little child, to a fly, is reported by the latter to the Lion, as disrespect shown to himself. This, the Lion waits to avenge, until the child is older. By /han≠kass'o (L VIII.-23. 8058 rev., 8060 rev., 8078-8080). </i>
