Maxwell, Lav u macijoj kozi

Iako je lav, Maxwell od detinjstva bio glavna cirkuska atrakcija iza svetlucavih reflektora i gromoglasnog aplauza je u njegovim ocima tinjala potajna tuga. Iznenada mu je sve postalo besmisleno i prazno. Njegovo srce je svakim danom sve više ceznulo za dalekim prostranstvima africke savane, koje nikada nije upoznao ali ih je oduvek uvek nosio duboko u svom bicu. Njegov gontijer, Gustave Bonboncoeur se uprkos svemu pravio da to ne primecuje. Naprotiv, od Maxwella je zahtevao sve opasnije, vratolomnije i surovije izvedbe koje su ledile publici krv u žilama. I tako dok se publika divila, Maxwell je svakim danom sve više venuo. Ali njegova tuga je bila tolika da cak n vila, malena kao svitac nije odolela da mu pomogne. Ona je Maxwellu nudila slobodu ali ipak ne onakvu o kakvoj je sanjao. Umesto života u savani, Maxwell je mogao birati izmedju života u cirkusu ili napolju u gradu Njujorku. Njegovo razocarenje je bilo bezgranicno ali nije imao drugog izbora jer je život u cirkusu za njega postao nesnošljiv. Ali sudbina se ponovo gorko poigrala s'njim jer dospeva u narucje Cleo – petogodišnje, razmažene devojcice koja nije znala za milost. I tako iz dana u dan je Maxwellova sloboda sve više licila na novu vrstu ropstva. Nakon mesec dana sludjen i izmrcvaren se vraca na jedino mesto koje je za njega predstavljalo dom – u okrilje svog gontijera Gustave-a Bonboncoeura.
