Title
The adventure of a girl, named Ttai-tchuen, with a lioness who had young cubs
Collection
Summary
Dia!kwain's cousin, Ttai tchuen, escapes from a lioness by remembering all the things her parents taught her about the doings of lions. She acts fearlessly and shines a button at the lioness to dazzle her and twirls around to scare her out of the den. Ttai tchuen leaves her mat behind so that the lioness will think it is her.
