Grumio and the Lion

Grumio and the lion

Melissa stands in the dining room. Melissa looks at Hercules in the picture. The slave-girl laughs and calls Grumio. Grumio enters the dining room.

"Look!" says Melissa. "You are in the picture! A big lion fiercely attacks you. But you are brave. You beat the lion."

Clemens enters the dining room.

"Look!" says the cook. "Who is in the picture?"

Clemens does not respond.

"Do you have a tongue?" says Grumio. "I am in the picture! The lion attacks me. I hold a club and I beat the lion."

"What are you saying?" replies Clemens. "You are in the picture? You are a magnificent cook, Grumio. But I do not see you in the picture."
