The Nemean Lion
"The Nemean Lion had huge teeth, and skin so tough that it could not be pierced by arrows. Everyone in the land of Nemean was scared to death of it. Many hunters had tired to kill the beast, but none had succeeded.The Nemean Lion was also very smart. Several hunters had tried to trick it with poisoned meat. The lion never ate the meat, he did, however, eat the hunters.
The lion was strong, but Hercules was stronger. Hercules lured the beast into a trap and strangled it. He made a coat out of the lion's fur and he wore the lion's head as a helmet. With the cheers of the grateful people of Nemean ringing in his ears, Hercules headed for home, delighted with his new clothes.
When King Eury sae the lion's head approaching, he went screaming into his castle. It took Hercules most of one day to convince King Eury that the lion was dead."
