NAME:
A donkey was grazing on the edge of a forest. He was so distracted by eating the sweetened grass that he went deeper into the forest. When it started to get dark, he realized where he was. As he turned around to return home, he saw a fierce lion standing before him. The donkey was scared to see the strong lion with claws and sharp teeth. However, as he was a smart ass, he said:
– Ah, lion, you are the king of the jungle. And it will be my luck to be your meal tonight, but I would like to share with you the best way to eat a donkey. You see, a donkey's hind legs are the hottest. Therefore, sir, you must start from there.
The lion agreed. As soon as the lion went from behind, the donkey kicked the lion with all his strength. And it ran at such speed, it was gone in seconds!
