The Billionaire's Son and the Painted Lion


On the night of his son's 18th birthday, Roger Rogers, billionaire and CEO of a major company, had a terrible nightmare. He dreamt that his son, Tucker, would be mauled by a lion.
In the back of his mind he knew this could not be true, because they lived in a big city.
However, this still frightened Roger. It bothered him so much, that he rented a house for his son far away, where no one could find him.
The previous owner of the house was an artist who painted every wall with a beautiful mural.
On one wall in Tucker's bedroom, there was a beautiful, majestic lion. He stared at the lion and said, "I'm locked in this house because of you! I was supposed to meet a beautiful girl, and get married, but who knows if that will happen now!"
Anger grew inside of him. He reared back and punched the wall with the lion painting. .
He looked at his hand. His knuckles were bleeding pretty badly.
The next day, he was in lots of pain and noticed his hand became infected. He tried to treat it the best he could, but nothing worked.
He died a few days later.
