The Lion in Love 사랑에 빠진 사자
Script
NARRATOR:
Once, a strong lion lived near a village.
He was brave and proud.
One day, he saw a girl picking flowers.
She was kind and gentle.
The lion fell in love.
NARRATOR:
He went to her house and spoke to her father.
LION (politely):
“Sir, I love your daughter.
May I marry her?”
NARRATOR:
The father was scared.
He didn’t want to say no.
But he didn’t want a lion for a son-in-law either!
So he had an idea.
FATHER:
“You may marry her…
but first, please remove your claws and teeth.
They are too dangerous.”
NARRATOR:
The lion loved the girl so much,
he agreed.
He let them take out his claws and pull his sharp teeth.
NARRATOR:
Then he returned to ask again.
But this time, the father laughed.
FATHER:
“You are no longer scary.
Now, you are just a big, soft cat!”
NARRATOR (ending):
The lion walked away—sad and quiet.
Love is strong…
but don’t lose yourself completely.
THE END.
