Talebearing24: A Hungry Lion Used A Well-Fed Dog As "Meat"

         What a great surprise! an hungry lion was found to be an intimate friend of a well-fed dog. It was very incredible when the other animals in the same environment with them noticed this incompatible and unbelievable friendship going on between them. This became the talk of the vicinity among the other animals in the likes of Tiger, Wild cat, Snakes of different species, Leopard, Hyena, Deer to mention a few. This was because dog is a domestic animal! How could he be an intimate friend of a wild and deadly animal like Lion in such an odd condition. Some went to the extent of saying that they would soon fight. Days turned to week, weeks to a month. Their friendship continued uninterruptedly.
         This hungry lion had been thinking on the technique he would use to achieve his aim of using the so-called intimate friend, dog as "meat". Suddenly, a thought came to his mind and he invited all the animals in his environ for a celebration while he specially invited dog, being his bosom friend, to come around on the eve of the celebration for a proper arrangement in which the dog agreed. In the evening of the eve of the celebration, the dog packed all the necessary wears into a bag preparing to move down to the house of his dubious friend lion not knowing that he was packing gradually into his grave. What a pity! Lion could not wait to see his friend, dog since he had known in his mind that "meat" would soon come.
        When the lion saw his so-called friend, dog few miles away, he was very happy from the bottom of his heart knowingly that the "meat" had finally come, He started praising dog from far distance so that dog would not feel suspicious of any odd act from his intimate friend. The closer the dog moved to the lion, the better relieved the lion became. Finally, the dog entered his friend's house, lion with the hope that he was safe not knowing that he would soon meet his Waterloo. Lion gave him warm reception into his house and told him to feel at home.
         After few minutes, dog noticed that there was no tangible preparation on ground when it was few hours to the celebration proper, he then asked lion how far about the preparation? But lion told him that he had locked the food and the drinks in a room and very soon he would show him. Two hours later when it was a bit dark, lion went into the inner part of his house and called his friend, dog to come and see the food and the drinks, when the dog got there, he descended heavily on him and tore him into pieces. What a great disaster! In the following morning, when the invited animals got to the lion's house, they noticed no sign of celebration and they all returned home one after the other. What a great disappointment!
