A little edu-tainment in history for Davis Sq. & the Af-fected area.
"How to Kill a Symbiant,
or The Hail Mary Manuever,
or OOPS!"
Hank Ketchum had a child. Oddly, he turned out to be a Lion. Not just ANY Lion, but a famous Lion. The Lion, in fact, from the old fable, The Lion & the Mouse
Well, we all know the story of the Lion & the Mouse, yes?
The Lion gets a thorn in his paw, threatens to eat the Mouse, & the Mouse informs him that he will remove the thorn if he lets the Mouse live. The Lion agrees, & they all live Happily Ever After.
But this is not the end of the tale:
For,
One day, the Mouse teased the Lion.
Infuriated, the Lion slammed the Mouse, sending the Mouse flying across the jungle as he ROARED:
YOU CANT SAY THAT TO ME, I'M THE KING OF THE JUNGLE"!!!
Miraculously, the Mouse survived, only to get a thorn in it's own paw. The Lion agreed to help, having established his authority.
The Mouse sneezed. The Lion, startled, jumped, landing on the Mouse, & cutting her in half.
But the story continues.
For you see, the ironic part is this. The Lion was NOT the King of the Jungle, for he was in a Bonobo Forest.
The Bonobo, being wise to his ways, threw corpses @ him.
Appeased, the Lion took rest. The Bonobo approached. They entered through the exit. The Lion liked this.
Very much.
"You know you are not the King of the Jungle", the Bonobo said. "You're just a lazy thieving scavenger".
"You know", said the Lion, who was finally completed relaxed. "You're right. I'm just so used to primping for tourists....."
& this is why actors could not find jobs in Hollywood in the 1950's.
But this is not the end, you see, for the Lion does still get grumpy now & again, due to his thorny injury.....
...and the Humans are coming......
