The Christ (to the preterite):  This is my flesh.  This is my blood. Eat.

The lion's best freind was Dumbo.  Dumbo got his nose pierced by that thorn 
and hung it and the feather smartly there on a golden ring.  When he wasn't 
flying he sucked on them both, and they lasted a long time, but eventually 
disolved.  The lion later wished he'd been tougher.   He dreamt of eating 
Dumbo and sucking on fat bones....
