because having everything isn't always everything
“Well,” said the man, “if you are a man, you had better help us shoot these lions, because if you are a lion we are definitely going to shoot you.”
“Well, said the old, old lion, "if you are a lion you had better help us eat up those men, because if you are a man we are certainly going to eat you up. So make up your mind, Grmmff.”
“Make up your mind, Lafcadio,” said the man.
“Make up your mind,” they all said together and poor Lafcadio the Great, he couldn’t make up his mind; he wasn’t really a lion anymore and he certainly wasn’t really a man.
Poor, poor Lafcadio - what do you do when you don’t want to be a hunter - and you don’t want to be a lion?
…he shook his head and he put down his gun and he picked up his hat and he sniffled a couple of times and he walked away over the hill, away from the hunters and away from the lions.
And he walked and walked, and soon from far away he could hear the sound of the hunters shooting the lions and he could hear the sound of the lions eating up the hunters.
And he didn’t really know where he was going, but he did know he was going somewhere, because you really have to go somewhere, don’t you?
And he didn’t really know what was going to happen to him, but he did know that something was going to happen, because something always does, doesn’t it?
