A bad example of "Don't ask, Don't tell



Jungle King

A Lion went out one morning feeling really mean,
And cornered a small tree monkey, one that he had seen,

Roared , who is the mightiest of all the creatures here,
Monkey said you’re the greatest, as he shook in fear,

Lion saw a Jackel and rushed in as to kill,
The Jackel started shaking , he couldn’t hold it still,

Lion roared, Who is the mightiest animal here by far,
Jackel said ,great lion, we all know you are,

Swaggering and roaring to an elephant he went,
Roaring who in this jungle is king, elephant?

Quick as a snake , he was jerked off his feet,
Slammed to the ground Hammered and beat,

Held in the trunk he was thrown against a tree,
Then once more hammered as he tried to flee,

Almost dead and wishing he could retreat,
Stomped on the ground till he was all raw meat,

The elephant was finished and went upon his way,
The lion almost dying had these words to say,

Yelled, Elephant you’re slippin, my whole tail you missed,
I only asked a question, you didn’t have to get so pissed,

With that wisdom, I think I'll take my elephant to a lien fight. Similarly, the reason that the maharaja and the great white hunter always rode on elephants while hunting tigers in the Indian jungles (there were lions there, a lesser species to the tiger) was to avoid getting hit by king cobras that occupied the same jumble and the ability of the tigers to leap almost to the top of an elephant's back to snatch its tormentors from their safe perch.
