But the lion told me I must undress first... I suddenly thought that dragons are snaky sort of things and snakes can cast their skins.... So I started scratching myself and my scales began coming off all over the place. And then I scratched a little deeper and instead of just scales coming off here and there, my whole skin started peeling off beautifully... In a minute or two I just stepped out of it.
