King of the Jungle

One morning King Lion was strolling through the tall grass when he happened to meet Giraffe. "Good morning, Longneck,' he greeted his subject. "Tell me, who is the strongest and most beautiful animal of all?"

"Oh, mister Lion, sir, you are the strongest and most beautiful of all," Giraffe replied.

Lion strolled along, feeling very pleased. Around the next bend he encountered Zebra.

"Good morning, Two-tone. Tell me, who is the strongest and most beautiful animal of all?"

"Well you are," snorted Zebra.

Lion shook his mane and lifted his head a little higher as he proceeded further. Behind a baobab tree he came across Elephant.

"Good morning, old Floppy-ears. Tell me, who is the strongest and most beautiful animal of all?"

Elephant didn't even look up. He just grabbed Lion by the scruff of his neck, shook him a few times and then tossed him over his back.

Lion landed with a dull thud, but quickly got to his feet. "Okay, okay!" he exclaimed. "No need to stress just because you don't know the answer!"
