If I remember, the story goes like this: Malka is the "Master of Lions". Malka caught the Lion when it was a cub. He used to make a living by sending in the Lion, having him scare people to death, and then have people pay him for "rescuing" them. But eventually both he and the lion grew old, and nobody was scared of them any more.
Like everything in the comic book, it's very symbolic - a philosophical parable.
