Lion-Lamb friendship, we all know it! How did it end?

in funny •  5 years ago 

Once upon a time, in a land far away, two friends lived in a jungle.

One was a lion, the other, a lamb. They both lived in a hut. lion-3959780__480.jpg

The lion would leave the hut before sun rise and come back just in time, to meet his lamb friend enjoying the midnight breeze outside the hut.

The lion would gist the lamb about his adventures; how he had seen other lambs and eaten them raw, he laughed gleefully in remembrance of how he had tricked them to his supposed fancy caged. He mocked and mimicked their cry for help. He had enjoyed every bit of the experience.

The lamb listened on and laughed.

It was an awkward laughter.

Lion was encouraged to say more so he went on and on. He added charm and charisma to his story. Lamb laughed. This time, her laughter was genuine. She laughed to high heaven, startling crickets nearby.

One beautiful evening, they were outside the hut as usual.

"Hey lamby lamb, i've been wondering when i will show you my fancy cage. Have i ever mentioned it to you? I bet i havent! Believe me, you will be intrigued." He sounded really convincing and could not hide his excitement . The lamb smiled in response. Seemed to have agreed because she blushed.

After a long silence, she told him she had accepted. Lion was so happy! He couldn't help but dance!

"Can we go to your fancy cage this night, my love?😊 " lamb asked. "Oh yes! dear lamby" shouted the lion.

Lamb went into the hut to pack her things, fancy cage in mind.

Lion waited and waited. "Whats keeping her? " he asked.

He went inside and saw the back door he had never seen before. Lamb had secretly built a back door!

She left never to be found again without as much as a goodbye! 😊 The lion threw himself to the ground! He cried bitterly. "How did i miss this soft fresh meat? " he asked no one in particular.

Miles away, lamb had stopped running.
"What if i was wrong? What if i was different from other lambs to him? Lion was my bestie and my crush, what if he is crying now and missing me? Should i go back?"

Well, i don't know if she went back, because i wasn't there! Lol

Moral: A lion can NEVER be friends with a lamb. The world is a jungle and there are no friends in the jungle.
