Long ago there was a lion, living in his territory somewhere on the wast savannah. It was a quite nice land he had and he enjoyed the life. As the king of the land he ruled and protected it. Sometimes he had to eat so he went to hunt but he always left some pieces from his pray to the small rodents around him as well. He always considered himself as a good king of the animals and did not want to see them starving. So lots of animals arrived into his kingdom from every direction. Other lions, panthers, tigers sometimes arrived too to challenge him and take away his hunting ground but he always defeated them. Sometimes easily, but sometimes the fight was difficult and long and the lion got tired and wounded. But finally the lion always defended his realm and repelled the other predators.
But by the time the lion became old and toothless and went to hunt only occasionally. Now some of the rodents around him started to thinking: well, we do not like that the lion gives us less free food now since we deserve better life then the rodents in other realms! So they told to the lion: If you do not give us more free food frequently we are going to kill and eat you! The lion was laughing, since it is true that he was old, weak and toothless by now but he still was a lion with huge paws. Then all of the rodents started to pinch him and bite him and he smote them with his enormous paws and
killed some. But the rodents were numerous by that time and finally they were able to defeat the lion. Since a toothless lion is just a toothless lion after all. So the lion was defeated and was waiting
to be executed. But the rodents decided to not kill him immediately but torture him for long. So they tied him to a stream where he was able to drink to keep him alive for long and they started torturing him. They poke his eye and cut of his leg and burned his fur.
But even the most cruel games became boring by time. So they went to the pole where the lion was tided less and less. Occasionally they still kicked him once in a while when they passed him but it was not so satisfying anymore -there were even days when they almost forget him. And this was a mistake. The lion started to regenerate. He did not get back his poked eye neither the cut leg but some wisdom teeth started to grow. Not so nice and huge fangs he had when he was young but still lionteeth after all.
One day a young rodent who arrived just right before the rodent revolution from the Northwest went to the lion to kick him. And he saw the new tooth and realized that there is a fear in his heart. Lionteeth.
So he told the other rodents that we should kill the lion before it will be too late and he get himself free! Maybe he will be even able to call some other felines as help! But the other rodents were
laughing the young one claiming that we are the glorious lion-defeaters we do not have to be afraid of anything! Others told him, that it's a good idea but it's time now for gathering food not for fun.
But the young rodent, though was cruel, was not stupid. He admitted at least to himself that he is afraid to go to the pole and poke the lion by now. So he approached the the lion and told him: well, what happened... that happened long ago. Actually I understand your point and I ask you to understand our point as well: which is a tragedy for you is a freedom for us. Can we be friends? The lion knew what it means: you are free now for working hard for your daily food since I do not give you anymore. You realized that life is not so nice as you hoped when rebelled against me. You do not admit this even to yourself because you are young yet. But time passed for me as well, I learnt from my mistake thus I have wisdom teeth now, so I am not going to tell you anything now. Just smiling... and waiting. And the lion knew that the young rodent never will be old enough to be wise.

I am a psychohistorian from the inner space but currently dwelling in UK, Earth. Our aim here is to studying the human race by the order from our government. I try to get specialized in the Hungarian subspecies of the humanity.
We listen to lots of conversations on your several networks from the biger ones to the smallest ones. Likely I will have some questions when a human interaction on this network will not be clear for me.
Our aim is purely studying and gathering information about human interactions, we do not intend to interfere with your business neither conquer your planet/country/hovel.
