"Mighty?" asks Nimrod somewhat befuddled. "Truly, my child, this piece of clothing is made by the Almighty God. You will turn out to be forceful when you wear them. The energy of this article of clothing alarms the both creatures and people. You will see wonders!" Nimrod bows down, admires his dad. "I will be brave like a lion and I will convey respect to you."

Nimrod is riding his stallion in the woods. He is wearing articles of clothing his dad gave him. He has a bow and arrows in his quiver. He has the hunter`s look! The forest transmits odd sounds as though its tenants are startled. Winged animals shriek, wolves wail, tiger snarl and elephants trumpet. Nimrod expertly stacks his bow with an arrow and picks off creatures as he rides. The ones not killed keep running for cover. But one! The gigantic lion Nimrod battled with before. It lets out a resistant snarl as though to state "I am king of the wilderness!" Nimrod pursues the lion that keeps running in fear like a deer. "The new pieces of clothing are working. I am strong!" yells Nimrod. Nimrod shoots arrows in a steady progression like rockets. The arrows pierce lion’s stomach and he falls down, but not dead yet!
