A lion woke up one morning feeling rowdy. He went out and cornered a small monkey and roared, "Who is mightiest of all jungle animals?"
The trembling monkey said, "You are, mighty lion!"

Later, the lion confronted a deer and bellowed, "Who is mightiest of all jungle animals?"

The terrified deer stammered, "Oh great lion, you are by far the mightiest animal in the jungle!"

On a roll, the lion swaggered up to an elephant and roared, "Who is mightiest of all jungle animals?"

The elephant snatched up the lion with his trunk, slammed him against a tree, stomped on him and then ambled away.

The battered lion hollered after the elephant, "Sheesh, just because you don't know the answer, you don't have to get so upset."
