A Definition of Spin!!

An Israeli tourist in the USA is visiting the Bronx zoo, when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion's cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents.

The Israeli runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch. Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back, letting go of the girl, and the Israeli brings her to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly.

A reporter has seen the whole scene, and addressing the Israeli, says "Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I saw a man do in my whole life."

"Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger and acted as I felt right."

" Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed. I'm a journalist, you know,
and tomorrow's newspaper will have this on the first page. Where do you come
from?"

"I am on vacation from Israel."

The journalist leaves. The following morning the Israeli buys the newspaper to see if it indeed brings news of his actions and reads, on first page:
