Answer Details
The statement "My little finger is thicker than my father's lions" was made by Rehoboam, who succeeded his father Solomon as king of Israel. He was faced with a request from his people to ease the heavy burden that Solomon had placed on them, and he consulted with his advisors on how to respond. The statement means that he was more powerful and his reign would be harsher than that of his father. Therefore, the answer is "be harsher".
