Sinhala. Sanskrit.
The transliteration of the ancient name Simhaladvipa comes from the Sanskrit Simhalauipa, which means:
Lion Tamer.
In fact, this is a story about taming. But, what is taming?
"To me, you are just a little boy, like thousands of other little boys. I don't need you. You have no need of me. To you, I am just a fox, like thousands of other foxes. But if you tame me, we will be indispensable to each other. To me, you are the only one in the world; to you, I am the only one in the world."
