Description: A good old man had a son, whose soul was great and generous, who was extremely fond of hunting. This good man dreamed one night that his son had been killed, and devoured by a Lion, and as he loved him dearly, and feared that his dream would not become true, he had a beautiful house built, where he led his son, and had him carefully guarded by people who did not abandon him, to whom he gave good wages, in order to keep him company, and to prevent him from forging; And so that he could take some pleasure and entertainment, he had all the strong animals hung in a room, in the middle of which he had a lion represented.
