Donkey And The Lion, Answering Some Tough Questions

One sunny afternoon, a big, fluffy Lion crossed paths with a little donkey.

The Lion wanted to play a game, so he stood tall and said, "Hey there, little donkey! Let's play a riddle game. I will ask you three questions. If you get them all right, you win the game and can go on your way. But if you get even one wrong... you have to give me your lunch!"

The donkey's ears twitched. He didn't want to lose his delicious patch of green grass! Hiding his nervousness, he puffed out his chest.

"Sure thing, Mr. Lion! You can ask me anything under the sun. I'm ready!" the donkey replied bravely.

"Is that so? Let's see," smiled the Lion. "Who is the strongest animal in the whole wide world?"

The donkey didn't hesitate for a second. "Of course, it is the mighty Lion, the strongest of all animals!"

"Aha! You are right," purred the Lion, looking very pleased with himself. "Here comes the next question: Who is the most intelligent animal in the world?"

The donkey smiled and replied quickly, "Why, it's a Lion, of course!"

"Spot on again!" The Lion beamed with pride, shaking his golden mane. "Now, here is your final and hardest question: Who is the fastest animal on the earth?"

The donkey winked and said, "Naturally, it’s the Lion! No one is faster than a Lion in the forest!"

The Lion clapped his paws together. "Wow! You answered all my questions perfectly! You are one super-smart donkey to solve my tough riddles. You win the game, and you are free to go!"

"Thank you, Mr. Lion!" said the donkey.

He didn't wait around for the Lion to change his mind. The clever donkey zoomed away as fast as his hooves could carry him, happy that his quick thinking had saved his lunch!
