a monkey died in the zoo.the zoo authorities approached a man and asked him to learn all the monkey tricks and enact the monkey's role.they warned him not to be over enthusiastic while performing the tricks as the lion's cage was next to his cage.
the crowd gathered in the evening and soon there was thunderous applause for the excellent manner he was swinging to and fro. he got excited and completely forgot the warning and made a huge jump he found himself in the lion's cage.he was shivering and quaking with fear . the lion purposefully strode towards him .the poor man started saying his prayers with hands folded .he closed his eyes tightly. he thought that his end had come.suddenly he heard a human voice talking to him. he opened his eyes. the lion was speaking to him it said," buddy dont be so nervous i wont eatyou up after all i am a human being just like you. in fact all the so called animals in the zoo are like us."
