Parsley the vegetarian lion.
In a dark, dark forest, under dark, dark trees, in a dark, dark clearing, a pride of lions lived. But there was something strange about this pride- one of them was a vegetarian, which is a bit of a problem when you are a lion!
One day, Parsley the lion was minding his own business when Troy and his cronies waltzed into the clearing, “Budge it wimpy!” sneered Troy who was the biggest lion in the pride, “Only real lions are allowed to sit on the smooth rock.”
“I am a real lion,” Parsley explained hurt with what they had said.
“Hah hah, as if you are not one of our kind now go away and hunt for some of your fruit ha yuck!” Exclaimed the second biggest lion, Simon. So Parsley went to look for gooseberries in the forest.
Days passed by, and the vegetarian lion minded his own business in the forest, but one day, he had sprinted up to the forest to harvest his first crop of strawberries to make jam, when he heard a clunking noise, then a bashing noise. Finally, he spied a shiny metal object chugging into the clearing towards him it was like a giant metal monster. He felt so scared and for once wished that troy was here to save him and fight this metal monstrosity. But then in the distance he heard a roar…
“Troy!” he called but nobody answered.
“Troy where are you!” There was silence, but then…
“Parsley is that you?” questioned Troy, as he poked his head out of the bushes.
“Yes it’s me, come on we need to try and stop this horror!” exclaimed Parsley.
“I have got a plan how about we roar so loud that we scare the driver and then we steal the keys.”
“Great, let’s go” Parsley bellowed.
As quick as a flash, troy let out a roar so loud it could deafen a giant, as parsley sneaked up to the machine and pulled the keys out of the engine.
“AGH” screamed the driver inside the machine and ran off into the jungle never to be seen again.
As Troy and parsley sat on the smooth rock together Troy exclaimed “you know Parsley, I think that I might turn vegetarian now that I know how much fruit and vegetables mean to you.”
“Good idea” chuckled Parsley.
