A missionary met a lion as he was walking from one village to another.
The missionary fell to his knees and buried his face in his hands. Nothing seemed to be happening; the lion was silent. The missionary peeped through his fingers and saw the lion on its knees, its face buried in his paws. The missionary in a trembling voice, I am praying to be delivered from the jaws of death. But what on earth are you doing?

 The lion growled, I'm saying grace.

    传道人从一个村子出来去另一个村子的时候,遇到了一只狮子.

    传道人跪下来,把脸埋在双手里. 狮子静悄悄的,好象不会发生什么事情.传道人透过手指缝偷偷张望,看到狮子跪着,把脸埋在它的爪子里. 传道人颤声问道:"我在祈求脱离死亡的魔爪,但你在做什么呢?"

    狮子咆哮道:"我在做感恩祷告."
