King of the Ring !

We are going back 200,000 years. We will be back soon and safe. Don't worry. We head to a vast and a dark jungle as any story teller would tell you, because there wasn't much except these. Of course Sun will struggle to penetrate the dense forests. Mid noon resembled midnight and midnight was just empty. And as any story would make you believe, all the animals lived together peacefully and happily together.

The six animal jury was seated under the shades of trees, on big boulder or branches of trees. Eagle, the foreman flew from one branch to the open space where all animals have gathered. He read out the case or literally he yelled out the case. A competition to find the mightiest animal in the jungle. His co-jurors were Rabbit, Snake, Fox, Pig and ant. All except the any filled in nominations to contest, but were disqualified. So they decided to sit in the jury panel.

It would be 8.30 A.M on July 29,2009, 202,009 years later. All the animals in the Jungle had assembled in the area to watch the contest and to extend their support to the contestants. 10 nominations had been accepted. Lion, Tiger, Bear, Bull, Wild Boar, Camel, Elephant, Giraffe, Crocodile and Monkey were in the fray. Monkey was a wild card pick, a replacement for the absent gorilla.

The defending Champion came in first, with a big roar. He greeted the Jury and began. "You all know me well. You know my bone cracking, spine braking power. And you all know why I am the king of the Jungle,. Because God wanted his forests to be ruled by brave hearts. You are all afraid of me, because I am the Lion". The Lion looked satisfied, but the jury weren't. Most of them have been declined a nomination only because of the Lion. And after all, he doesn't even hunt. He just eats and helps in population growth.

Bear ran in next. The sight and size of him was enough to scare the jurors. He did not speak. he did not need to. He broke a tree with his bare foot, threw a 100 pound stone out of the planet, hit the ground with his fist to cause a tremor that would have recorded a 6 on Richter scale. And without saying a word, he left. A potential contender thought the jury.

Next came the elephant trumpeting his way into the open space. The jury had brought cottons. he elaborated his mightiness. How he can kill anyone with a single blow. How he can lift logs with his trunk. How much worth is his tusks. he trumpeted for 40 minutes. Not him though the jury. Two reasons. They would need a couple of servants always to clean his shit and they would need cottons.

Crocodile crawled in next with mouth wide open. He showed off his teeth to everyone. He closed it only when he knew the jury was afraid enough. He told them he was the only omnipresent animal, who can hunt on both and who has the biggest bite force(He wanted to say, go ask Brady Barr. It was not 2000).

The bull and the wild boar did pretty much the same what the other animals did. They scared the jury with their horns and crazy sounds. They showed their flesh to impress the jury. they will have to wait till other animals show their flesh off said the jurors.

Giraffe walked in after the wild boar. He himself praised his height and hi ability to see more ground then others. Being a grass eater, he couldn't add much. He is definitely out.

Tiger was asked in after Giraffe. he eloquently stepped in, read the speech he ad prepared and finished by saying that he hunted himself. Lion was angry like hell on the tiger. This guy has erased any small hopes that was left in the Lion. He will see him once all this is done.

Camel walked in next. He told the jury how he can live without water for days and yet stay healthy. He said about his ability to walk across deserts, his adventures and all such crazy things. Jury did not hear much of it.

By the time the monkey came in, the foreman was already yawning and the rest of the jury was sleeping. Monkey did not address the jury. He showed his ass to them and addressed the crowd. "Hey all you small poor creatures ! From this day, I will be the King and you all obey my law. I might set rules as how you live and you better live that way. Other will get their names listed in the endangered species. I will prosecute and convict all those who violate my rules. Justice will be swift, righteous and without mercy. I assume all rights to control you, slave you, curse you, hit you, hurt you and even kill you. I expect only one answer from you for all my questions. Silence. You will protect me, pray me, preach me, follow me. If some one is against me, I will make them run."

All the animals were silent. the elephant broke it. "And how do you imagine that's gonna happen?". "With your tails between your legs !" said the monkey with the smile and walked in two legs. He knew, he will be arrogant enough to have a endangered species list after 202, 009 years.
