One day the lion woke up and decided to reinforce his position in the jungle. Hw found an impala, walked up to it and called out;"who is the king of the jungle"? the frightened impala replied, "oh, you are sire". wereupon the lion walked away the impala. Later, the lion spied a buffalo feeding, so, he carefully made his approach to the bull and asked the same question; "who is the king of the jungle"? and received the same answer,"oh, you are sire" wereupon he released the bull. Now, he was feeling pretty pleased with himself about this time when he came upon an elephant. The lion swaggered up to the elephant and asked, "who is the king of the jungle"? The elephant looked at him for a bit, grabbed the lion with his trunk and began to beat hell out of the lion. When the elephant finally released the bedraggled lion, the lion exclaimed "jeez, if you didn't know the answer that's no reason to get sore"!
