A lost dog wanders into the jungle. A lion spots him from a distance and thinks, “Huh… never seen one of these before. Looks edible.”
The lion starts charging. The dog panics until he notices bones nearby. Thinking fast, he blurts out, “Mmm… that was some tasty lion meat!”
The lion slams to a stop. “Wait… this little guy eats lions?! Nope, I’m out.”
But high in a tree, a monkey saw the whole thing. He scampers over to the lion and reveals the truth, hoping to gain favor. The lion growls, “Hop on my back. We’re getting him.”
They charge back toward the dog. The dog sees them coming, panics—then yells, “Where’s that monkey? I told him to bring me another lion an hour ago!”
Explanation: “I told him to bring me another lion an hour ago!”
