If I'm recalling my sunday school teachings correctly, Daniel was thrown into a Den of lions by the Persians as punishment for praying. They'd eat him and it would be a grand ol' exocution for the masses, but the lions just laid around and didn't attack him. Here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_in_the_lions%27_denTheDOCTOR wrote:Now that Phix has embedded her nails into her Palm, which will make her tear up, in walks Monica,slowly, over the objections of Euryale and "gently" removes the 'Thorns from the Lioness' paw' ala Daniel and the Lion. Monica dresses Phixs' hand, Phix looks at Monica,says "Thank You,Pumpkin" and cries on Monicas' shoulder.
What'cha Think, good huh?
The only thorn from the lion's paw story I remember is a fable and the guy's name was Androcles. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Androcles
But I get your point either way, and i think it would be a terrible idea for Monica to do that. She'd get mauled in the state Phix is in.
