In the jungle, a hyena was talking to a monkey. He said to the monkey
âYou see that big clump of trees over there?â
The monkey says âYes, what about them?â
âWell, I go through there every day to get home, I donât have to, itâs just a shortcut,â said the hyena.
âAlright, so?â asked the monkey
The hyena says âWell every time I go through there, this lion jumps out, grabs me by the leg and starts swinging me around and whacking me against the trees and the ground, then he leaves. I donât know why he picks on me like that, maybe he just thinks itâs funnyâ
The monkey says âIâm sorry to hear that, tell you what, Iâll walk home with you and if the lion shows his face, Iâll protect youâ
The hyena smiles and asks âReally? Youâd do thatâ
The monkey says âYesâ
They shake hands and walk through the trees. Halfway to the hyenaâs home, the lion jumps out, grabs the hyena and starts swinging him around while the monkey runs up a tree. The lion whacks the hyena against the trees and the ground before going away, leaving the hyena on his back.
The monkey comes down and stands next to the hyena.
The hyena looks up at the monkey and asks
âWhat happened? I thought you were gonna help meâ
The monkey says
âI was, but when I looked down, you were laughing so much, I thought you were winningâ
