微故事: 當獅子遇上愛情 (東加豆)
從前，有隻雄霸山林的獅王，愛上了一座果園主人唯一的女兒。那女孩常在月光下唱歌，獅王聽得如痴如醉，終於鼓起勇氣上門求親。
果農嚇壞了，卻不敢當面拒絕。他顫聲說："大王，我女兒膽子小，最怕你那鋒利的爪子。你若肯把爪子剪掉，我就考慮看看。"
獅王為了愛情，二話不說就把爪子全剪了。
幾日後，獅子又來提親。果農看了看牠，又說："還是不行，你那牙齒太尖了，我女兒見了會發抖。你把它拔掉吧!我立刻把女兒嫁給你。"
沒有人會想到這頭凶猛的獅子，二話不說就把鋒利的牙齒拔掉，就是為了（愛情）這個詞。
果農見牠沒了爪也沒了牙，知道牠暫時傷不了人，便說："好吧，你進來，我把女兒叫出來。"
獅王滿心期待、毫無防備地走進果園。這時果農迅速抄起一根粗木棍，一棍一棍地朝牠身上狠狠揮去。
獅王想抓，抓不住；想咬，咬不動。按常理，大腦此時該啟動（戰鬥或逃跑）機制。可牠沒了武器，逃也無路。在痛楚與背叛感交織中，這隻百獸之王突然張大嘴巴，伸出舌頭，雙手懸空如爪，發出了響亮的咆哮聲，繼而化作一陣瘋狂的腹式大笑。
果農的木棍懸在半空，徹底懵了。他不知道，獅王正經歷著大笑瑜伽所說的（身體動作引發心理情感）的轉化。當心靈承受巨大創傷，那強行的身體律動反而繞過了認知系統，直接用最劇烈的方式把一切吐出來。沒理由，不需要理由。
一頭沒牙沒爪的獅子，在滿園月光下，對著施暴者搖頭擺尾，獅子後來怎樣呢？
當然是平安無事。不然，我們又怎會天天做獅子大笑呢？
*這個故事有一部分是我自己創作的，靈感來自一個經典童話。

Micro-story: When a Lion Falls in Love (by Tonkabean)
Once upon a time, there was a mighty lion king who ruled the forest. He fell deeply in love with the only daughter of an orchard owner. The girl often sang under the moonlight, and her voice enchanted the lion. Finally, he gathered his courage, went to her house, and asked for her hand in marriage.
The farmer was terrified, but he didn't dare to say no to his face. Trembling, he said, "Your Majesty, my daughter is very timid. She is scared of your sharp claws. If you are willing to clip them off, I will consider it."
For the sake of love, the lion clipped off all his claws without a second thought.
A few days later, the lion came back to propose again. The farmer looked at him and said, "Still no. Your teeth are too sharp; they make my daughter shake with fear. Pull them out, and I will marry her to you right away!"
Nobody would have ever thought that this fierce lion would pull out all his sharp teeth without hesitation, just for that one word—**Love**.
Seeing that the lion now had no claws and no teeth, the farmer knew he was harmless. He said, "Alright, come on in. I will call my daughter out."
Full of hope and completely off guard, the lion walked into the orchard. Suddenly, the farmer grabbed a thick wooden stick and began to beat him, blow after blow, with all his might.
The lion wanted to scratch, but he couldn't. He wanted to bite, but he couldn't. Normally, his brain should have triggered the **"fight or flight"** response. But he had no weapons left, and there was nowhere to run. Trapped in a mix of intense pain and betrayal, the King of Beasts suddenly opened his mouth wide, stuck out his tongue, raised his paws in the air, and let out a loud roar—which instantly turned into a wild burst of belly laughter.
The farmer froze, his stick hanging in mid-air. He was completely bewildered. He didn't know that the lion was experiencing what we call in Laughter Yoga: the powerful connection where "bodily expression generates emotion." When the mind suffers a huge trauma, the forced physical movement of the body, bypasses the cognitive thought system. It allows the body to release and throw everything out in the most intense way. No reason, no conditions needed.
Under the moonlit orchard, a lion with no teeth and no claws wagged his tail and shook his head, laughing so hard that tears streamed down his face. What happened to the lion afterwards?
Of course, he was completely fine! Otherwise, how could we all be doing the "Lion Laughter" every single day?
