LION THE HUMORIST

A lion was wandering through the jungle asking all the animals he met, "Who is the King of a Jungle?" They all answered, "You are, of course." He felt very pleased with himself when he saw an elephant sleeping under a tree. The lion pushed¹ him and asked, "Who is the King of a Jungle?"

The elephant opened one eye, took hold of² the lion with his trunk³ and threw him up in the air. The Hon came down on his left ear which made him feel bad. But he came to himself a few minutes later and said, "There's no need to lose your temper⁴ just because you don't know the right answer!"
