(Mojo) The lioness's primary job is protecting her young but the lioness is the only animal who will honor a contract. Therefore, a man has to make himself vulnerable (not weak!) before a woman will make true contract with him.
That's certainly not how it appears to me. I'd say the lioness is the only animal who knows how to honor a contract (and by "contract" here I mean being dependable, not just being faithful), but doing so makes her very grumpy so she just doesn't do it as a general rule. Eventually one or all of the animals find a boy they like to interact with and everybody goes merrily along until some member of the menagerie, for sake of example let's say the monkey, breaches a contract with the boy (assume it's an overt contract; covert contracts are an entirely different system of law). If the boy then makes it quite clear to the monkey that he's perfectly able and willing to close this zoo down when contracts are breached, the monkey will snap the lionness back into focus.
Then it seems like the boy has to repeat the process until either he gets tired of it or the lionness decides it's better to stay on top of the contracts than take sh!t from the other animals all the time.
And even then the boy's gotta deal with a grumpy lionness from time to time.
If the boy lets the animals breach the contracts, before long the lionness notices, packs up the rest of the zoo and moves on along.
