As regards the three major structural themes used when teaching or explaining a text, one can teach in any of the following three ways:

  1. dividing the text into sections, which is likened to the leaping of a tigress;
  2. covering every word of the text, which is compared to the slow crawl of a tortoise; or
  3. reviewing a section, which is likened to the majestic posture of a lion.


The metaphor is of a lion majestically turning its head and looking behind at the ground it has covered. [1]
