There was one little boy who wanted to be prepared for any eventuality. His father took him to the zoo. They stopped to look at the lion. "He's the king of the beasts," said the father.

"Why do they call him that, Daddy?" asked the boy.

"Well, it's because he is the most ferocious animal in the jungle. He's a real man-eater, too!" said the father dramatically.

"Would he even eat you?" asked the little boy.

"I guess he would if he got out." The little fellow studied the lion with interest, then turned to his father and said, "Daddy, if he does get out, what bus should I take home?"
