Great White Hunter

"Great White Hunter"*

*An African village was troubled by a man-eating lion.
So its leaders sent a message to the great white
hunter, to come and kill the beast.

For several nights the hunter lay in wait for the lion,
but it never showed up. Finally, he told the tribal
chief to kill a cow and give him its hide. Draping the
skin over his shoulders, he went to the pasture to wait for the lion.

In the middle of the night, the villagers woke to the
sound of blood-curdling shrieks coming from the
pasture. As they carefully approached, they saw the
hunter lying there, groaning in pain. There was no sign of the lion.

"What happened, bwana? Where is the lion? asked the chief.

"Forget the damn lion!" he howled. "Which of you idiots let the bull loose?"
