Answer: The Lion and the Tiger's words differ from their actions - instead of killing people as they planned, they help them.
Explanation:
<em>Irony</em> is a literary device in which a situation results in a completely different outcome than expected. In<em> "The Cowardly Lion and Hungry Tiger"</em>, L. Frank Baum's story, the Lion and the Tiger only appear to be brave - the Lion describes he will tear a person to pieces, while the Tiger plans to eat a fat baby. However, when they encounter a baby and a person, they help them instead of eating them. The Lion helps a person that falls down, while the Tiger finds a lost baby and brings it to its mother.
