Lion goes to see his friend Mr. Giraffe in the day and in the night; he sleeps and hunts for zebras. For the past few days, everything was going just fine until Monkey came along. “Monkey,” asked Lion, “how come you don‘t eat Mr. Giraffe?” “Because he is my friend and I don’t eat my friends,” said Monkey. “Well, how come you don‘t eat me since you are not my friend,” Monkey asked. “Well, did I mention that you are not my best friend but you are my friend,” Lion said. “Ok…But if you are my friend, how come you never told me before,” said Monkey. “Because I was tired and hungry. Now deal with it,” Lion said. “Why should I?,” asked Monkey. “Stop asking me questions or else, I will change my mind and eat you instead.” “I am much too fast for you,” Monkey muttered. “Roarrrr!!!” Lion said strongly. Monkey ran up a tree and swung from branch to branch. By the time lion blinked, Monkey was gone. Wow! Lion was surprised. Monkey’s heart was beating so fast that he felt flat on the ground for a couple of minutes. One day, Giraffe came to see Lion. Lion was lying on the ground. “What‘s up”, Giraffe asked. “I am okay,” Lion said in a sad voice. “I know what I could do to cheer you up real good,” said Giraffe. So Giraffe made a funny face and made lion laugh. Lion was so happy; he hugged Giraffe very tight.
