Benson's attachment to his mother and his admiration for her and women in general is transpiring again in his stories about the war with the lion and the lioness. First, he presents his father's hero deeds who courageously fought the lion and killed it.

The episode of the lower teeth being removed, as tradition of the village that will distinguish them from others is another scene that shows Bensons' appreciation for the opposite sex.
