A lion riding an elephant?

The noisy river instantly quietened down.

All the animals seemed to be in a daze.

The two thin wandering lions standing on the hill widened their eyes and looked at this magical and absurd scene in disbelief.

That young fellow was actually riding on the back of an elephant!

Did they see wrongly?

Was this the life of a rich lion who rode around on food and took a bite when he was hungry?

Their eyes turned red with envy!

Jealousy made them look completely different!

They had not eaten their fill for months.

Over this period of time, they had been spending their days rotting meat.

If this continued, they might not even have the strength to snatch the rotten meat.

They were facing the cruel fate of being starved to death.

However, this young fellow actually rode such a big piece of fresh meat around. He could lower his head and eat his fill at any time!
