"Mornings in Africa"
In Africa, every morning a gazelle awakens
knowing that it must out run the fastest lion
if it wants to stay alive.
Every morning, a lion wakes up knowing that
it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or
it will starve to death.
It makes no difference whether you are a lion
or a gazelle: When the sun comes up, you
had better be running.

"Mightiest Of All"
A lion woke up one morning feeling really rowdy
and mean. He went out and cornered a small
monkey and roared, "Who is mightiest of all
jungle animals?"
The trembling monkey says, "You are, mighty
lion!
Later, the lion confronts a wild beast and
fiercely bellows, "Who is the mightiest of all
jungle animals?"
The terrified wild beast stammers, "Oh great
lion, you are by far the mightiest animal in the
jungle!"
On a roll now, the lion swaggers up to an
elephant and roars, "Who is mightiest of all
jungle animals?"
Fast as lightning, the elephant snatches up the
lion with his trunk, slams him against a tree half
a dozen times. The lion feeling like it'd been run
over by a safari wagon. The elephant then
stomps on the lion till it lookes like a corn
tortilla and ambles away.
The lion lets out a moan of pain, lifts his head
weakly and hollers after the elephant, "Just
because you don't know the answer, you don't
have to get so upset about it!"
