Here's a little story that Amos sent
in for your 'songifying' enjoyment -- He calls it: "If I Gave Myself
To You . . ." COLOMBO (Reuters) - A Sri Lankan man was seriously
injured when he jumped naked into a lions' den at the national zoo, apparently
offering himself up as a feast for the big cats, officials said Monday.
"The man...had written a letter before jumping into the enclosure saying he
wanted to give 'alms' to the lions," said Senarath Gunasena, director of
the National Zoological Gardens in the Colombo suburb of Dehiwala. The man
survived but the three lions in the den bit off parts of his arms, legs, chest
and groin area. The incident occurred Sunday when the zoo was full of
visitors. The man was rescued by zoo staff and onlookers who beat garbage
cans to frighten the lions away and took him to a nearby hospital where he was
in intensive care. Sri Lanka's majority Buddhist population believes that giving
alms can earn merit for future incarnations.
