Who wrote: "Mathematics is easy"?

I once read that mathematics is easy: If you have two lions in a cage and you remove three of them, you can easily empty the cage by putting one lion back in it.

My question is: Do you know who wrote that?

Update:

Yes, I have googled it. Perhaps it is that Indian mathematician but I couldn't find any link between his name and "lion" and "cage." The reason I ask the question is because a good friend who is mathematician told me the story and I dare not ask him if he is the author of the story, or if he read it somewhere. I like very much the story, though! ;-)
