Excerpt
“Oh come on!” roared Mr Lion, “We can not stand here all day long. Which event shall we start today?”
“The wrestling free style event,” bellowed Mr Elephant. “Please register me as a participant.”
“WONDERFUL!” shouted Mr Lion,” That is an interesting Olympics event. Who else will participate?”
There came a very noticeable hush in the crowd.
Mr Elephant weighed about 12,000 kilogram and had a shoulder height of four metres. With his trunk hanging like a big pipe; three metre-long tusks; legs like marble pillars; belly like a tank, two-and-a-half centimetres thick skin, Mr Elephant looked awe-inspiringly formidable.
“Who will fight this giant?” said Mr Lion,” If no one registers his name for the event now, Mr Elephant will be declared the winner without any contest.”
“I will!” shouted Mr Ram,” I will take part in the Wrestling free style event.”
“Me too,” said Mr Rhino,” Please register my name, too. If Mr Ram will, then I will also wrestle with Mr Elephant and teach him a good lesson.”
“LESSON?” shouted Mr Elephant so high that his voice sounded like a trumpet“That is what I will teach anyone who will dare to wrestle with me. I am the strongest animal in this forest. In fact I should be the King here, not Mr Lion!”
Everyone in the crowd was stunned.
It was a known fact that Mr Elephant, like his body, had a big mouth, but bragging so much and challenging the true king of the forest was something no one had expected.
Mr Lion had no choice.
“OK, I will wrestle too!” roared Mr Lion,” I am also registering my name for this contest.”
The crowd heaved a sigh of relief and started to cheer loudly.
“Silence please!” shouted Mr Lion,” I, Mr Elephant, Mr Ram and Mr Rhino are the participants of the Wrestling freestyle event … Anybody else?”
“#%§!” said Mr Donkey.
The crowd was so noisy that nobody but Mr Fox heard or understood what Mr Donkey was shouting about.
He signalled Mr Lion and pointed towards Mr Donkey.
“SILENCE!” roared Mr Lion“I have had enough of this. I am getting hungry now. So hungry, in fact, that I will eat anyone who makes any noise.”
The crowd became absolutely hushed.
“Mr Ant wants to participate, too,” brayed Mr Donkey eventually and rather bravely, “He is here, sitting on my back.”
Everyone was totally taken aback.
“Tiny Mr Ant,” shouted Mr Lion, “Will you really wrestle with a giant like Mr Elephant?”
“Yes!” replied Mr Ant, his voice barely audible,” That is exactly what I want to do. Wrestle with Mr Elephant.”
“OK, you are in. Time is up now: no more entries,” roared Mr Lion,” let the Wrestling free style event begin!”
