The Lion in the Tunnel


When I was a kid, living in Westchester, we used to ride our bikes to the candy store.                                                                                                 This necessitated going under the railroad tracks.                                            

There was a tunnel that ran under the station for the commuters to reach either side of the tracks safely.
The tunnel always scared me.
Not for any rational reasons. But because of a television commercial that was running at the time.
It was for the Dreyfus Fund.                                                                                           
They used a lion as their ‘brand’.                                                                                      
In the commercial the lion was shown coming up the steps from a subway/train station tunnel.
I was always afraid I’d run into the lion in the tunnel.
I would never go to the candy store alone!

What a dork I was! LOL

  1. Well darn...don't know why but 'this video is currently unavailable'...which happens often on my Apple. I was afraid of the clock which sat on the dresser in mine and my sister's room. It terrified me...and thankfully Mom realized it and it disappeared. Oh happy day.
