he also sa# no one " beca!se it #as dark " there #as not a ray of light " so it #ent on and ca$e to a great
big castle. ;e looked envio!sly at hi$" beca!se on top of the great pinnacles bea$ed a h!ge dia$ond
that he #anted to have " there #as still a large co!rtyard " at the other end on the other side of the castle
had three t!rrets " very large and a s$aller one in the $iddle on each side " and on all t!rrets #ere
dia$onds " and on the door - large r!by and on the door on the other hand #as too r!by - bl!e" and so
the lion covered envy that he ran in a circle. ;e gro#led lo!dly " and the so!nd reflected all the
b!ildings aro!nd" so that it h!rt his ears " and he cal$ed do#n " beca!se it bothered hi$. ;e never
kne# that he had s!ch a strong voice. Then he began to sneak !p to the castle " #ent to the door and
sa# the call" b!t he did not kno# #hat it is " so clicked on it and $ade s!ch a noise that it frightened
hi$ " and no one ans#ered " so he sa# the door latch and opened the door and sa# that beca!se of the
darkness " he #alked in a circle" and finally lost so$ething - so he s!atted do#n and fo!nd the door "
then opened it and sa# the bed and the bed #as a bea!tif!l princess and he sa# it" and he did not #ant
to look at it beca!se it #as not so bea!tif!l " so he s#allo#ed it and #ent " and #hen he ret!rned to his
castle " he #as very good. So he sat do#n and tho!ght " and #as angry #ith hi$self beca!se of the girl
- she #as very nice girl and everyone loved " and he #ent to one of his little to#n " #here there #ere
lots and lots of food " got chickens" pigs (already dead ani$als) " all $eals that love ani$als" and #ent
into another roo$ " #here bro!ght fire#ood. And everybody sa# it " even ho!se $o!se . Then he #ent
to the floor and bro!ght tons and tons of cheese " and did a big hole in it" and the $o!se has $ade a
b!rro# in the cheese . She #as very h!ngry " and so it is very thin" and #hen she had finished eating "
#e co!ld not get o!t of the cheese. Then the lion and above all gave everything and #as very happy.
The ne)t day" everybody loved hi$ " b!t he still did not like $yself beca!se , forgot to bring the
beavers o!t of hypnosis " so he #ent back and bro!ght the beavers o!t of hypnosis " and then #e all
loved hi$ .
4isha identifies hi$self in the story of the lion " #hich clearly reflects the #ish-f!lfill$ent fantasy in
the child. ;o#ever" often there is self-criticis$ and an)iety abo!t their o#n inferiority " along #ith
overco$pensation . 3 ;e did not like anyone b!t hi$self " and he is very pro!d of hi$self " and all #ere
afraid of hi$ beca!se he #as very strong ... 3 Then " after the ac!isition of bea!tif!l ho$e and a
#onderf!l t!be s!ddenly he sho#s !s that it is not happy #ith $y body . +ollo#ed by a sy$bolic tale
of envy 3 great to#er 3 ... 3 #ith t#o s$aller to#ers on each side 3 " perhaps a sy$bolic representation
of large genitals. After that" he finds a bea!tif!l princess in bed. Then he tells !s !ite pri$itive oral
$astery of fantasy (perhaps the $other ) " 3 he s#allo#ed a princess .3 Co$$itting a cri$e " he tells !s
abo!t his conscience ( s!perego ) in the for$ of reaction for$ation to their $otives. ;e bro!ght a ton
of food for all ani$als" incl!ding the $o!se " and 3 gave everything to everyone ... after that he #as
very happy .3 ,n the co!rse of this story" it $akes f!rther co$$ents on the fact that all the chickens and
pigs" #hich he feeds other ani$als #ere already dead. So he gives !s to !nderstand that he did not kill
anyone else .
