DIFFICULT LEGACY
Thallium – relinquishing power
Old and unkempt with patchy fur: the aged lion must
withdraw, relinquishing power to the younger successor.
He is covered in battle scars and his weakened position
has become undeniable. It would be wise to make way
for the potent heir apparent. The noble thing to do
would be to take him under one’s wing, if it were not
for old-age obstinacy. A case for Thallium.
