An intrepid explorer heard that the secret to immortality could be found on a certain island in the South Pacific. He found the island with no trouble, but hadn’t a clue as to where to find the secret of immortality. He asked the local tribal chief if he knew.
“Well, I don’t know myself,” he said. “But it is said that a group of porpoises which swim in the lagoon have found the secret to life eternal.”
“Great,” the explorer said. “I’ll go see them.”
“Wait,” the chief said. “The porpoises will not speak with just anyone. You must bring them a sacrifice. You must capture for them the young of the great mynah bird. It’s nest can be found high on the mountain up yonder path.”
Eagerly the explorer set off in search of the mynah birds. He found a nest with no problem, and stole couple of chics from it. But on the way back down the path he came across a huge, sleeping lion straddled across the path, blocking it. So he carefully tried to step over it. But the lion woke up, attacked and ate the explorer.
So the Moral of the Story is:
Never cross staid lions with a mynah for immortal porpoises
