The Shard is an 87-storey skyscraper, which sits in the heart of London. It is known as the shard of glass. Construction began in 2009

Away with you, vile insect!” said a lion angruly to a gnat that was buzzing around his head, but the Gnat was not in the least
disturbed.
“do you think.” he said spitefully the lion, “that i am afraid of you because they call you king?”
The next instant he flew at the lion and stung him sharply on the nose. Mad with rage, the lion struck fiercely at the Gnat, but only
succeeded in tearing himself with his claws. Again and again the Gnat stung the Lion, who now was roaring terribly. At last, worn out
with rage and covered with wounds that his own teeth and claws had made, the Lion gave up the fight.
The Gnat buzzed away to tell whose world about his victory, but instead he flew straight into a spider’s web. And there, he who had
defeated the king of beasts came to miserable end, the prey of a little spider.
