Once upon a time in a zoo in Pakistan, a lion found itself in a culinary predicament. Its daily diet consisted of only one stroll, and upon requesting more, it was informed that inflation was the culprit. “Manage with what you have,” they said.

However, the lion’s fate took a turn when the initiative of transferring animals between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia materialized. The lion was selected for a transfer to the Kingdom, hoping for a better life. The lion thought, “Finally, a stable diet, a comfortable den, and a full belly await me.”
Upon arrival in Saudi Arabia, on the first day, the lion was presented with an elegantly packed gourmet feast. Excitedly, the lion opened the package only to find a handful of bananas. Bewildered, the lion pondered if this might be a mistake and cautiously consumed the bananas, expressing gratitude for the unexpected delivery.
The next day brought a similar scenario. Opening the delivery box revealed, once again, just a bunch of bananas. The lion, puzzled, thought there might be a mistake or perhaps it accidentally received someone else’s package. It decided to eat the bananas, but this time with a sense of skepticism.
The cycle repeated the following day, and the lion, growing increasingly frustrated, declared, “Tomorrow, I shall confront the delivery boy and demand a proper meal!”
True to its word, the lion intercepted the delivery boy the next day. Upon opening the package, instead of bananas, the lion found a note attached to a packet of bananas. The lion’s anger surged as it read the message, “I will eat you up in this delivery box.”
Appalled and enraged, the lion sternly rebuked the delivery boy, “You have no idea what a lion eats. Every day, you deliver the wrong package of bananas. It’s preposterous!”
The delivery boy, in a calm and soothing tone, responded, “Sir, I understand you are the king of the jungle, but, with all due respect, you were brought here on a monkey’s visa.”
And so, the lion, the once-proud king of the jungle, stood there in stunned silence, realizing that every day it had been feasting on bananas meant for its primate counterparts.
In the end, the lion couldn’t help but marvel at the irony of the situation, acknowledging the unintended mix-up that had brought it to this bizarre culinary crossroads.
