Lion's Prayer

A Baptist missionary was walking in Africa when he heard the ominous padding of a lion behind him.

- Oh Lord - prayed the missionary.

- Grant in Thy goodness that the lion walking behind me is a good Christian lion.

And then, in the silence that followed, the missionary heard the lion praying too:

- Oh Lord - he prayed.

- I thank Thee for the food which I am about to receive.
