The Quick Thinking Brown Fox
A brown fox somehow finds himself in the jungle. A lion spots him and thinks, "I've never seen his kind around here before but he looks quite edible." With that he starts bounding menacingly towards the fox.
Seeing this in horror the brown fox notices some nearby fresh bones. He pretends to be finishing one off, then says, "That was some damn good lion meat but I'm still hungry. I wish another one would show up!"
The lion stops in his tracks. "Whoa, he must be a lot tougher than he looks. I better get out of here while I can."
A nearby monkey saw all this transpire from his tree. Thinking it would be nice to have the lion indebted to him he went to the lion and told him what had happened.
The lion, enraged by this, said, "Hop on my back. We'll go get him together!"
Seeing the lion approaching quickly with the monkey the brown fox figured out what must have happened. As they got within ear-shot he shouted, "Where the hell is that monkey? I sent him out for a fresh lion an hour ago!"
