I have a great desire to eat a few fat babies. Then, perhaps, the people of Oz would fear me and I'd become more important." "True," agreed the Lion. "It would stir up quite a rumpus if you ate but one fat baby. As for myself; my claws are sharp as needles and strong as crowbars, while my teeth are powerful enough to tear a person to pieces in a few seconds.
