Almost every picture of Saint Jerome has a lion at his feet. The tale behind it is lovely: a lion with a thorn in its paw limps into a monastery, is healed, is given the job of guarding the donkey, falls asleep, loses the donkey to traders and brings it back with their camels.
It is not in Jerome's writings. The older version is about Gerasimus, an abbot in the Jordan valley, in John Moschus's Spiritual Meadow. The names Gerasimus and Hieronymus sounded alike, the tale moved, and the Golden Legend fixed it to Jerome in the thirteenth century.
The new Little Lamps story, "Jerome and the Lion in the Doorway", tells the tale for ages 3 to 8, as an old tale, and says in the note for grown-ups where it began. The series rule is that legend is marked as legend. Here that means telling a child a good story and telling their parent whose story it first was.
