English Original
A small village was troubled by a man-eating lion. Its leaders sent for the great hunter, Jonesie, to come and kill the beast.
For several nights, the hunter lay in wait, but the lion never appeared. Finally, he told the village chief to kill a cow and give him its hide. Draping the skin over his shoulders, he went to the pasture to wait.
In the middle of the night, the villagers were awakened by blood-curdling shrieks from the pasture. They carefully approached and found the hunter on the ground, groaning in pain. There was no sign of the lion.
"What happened, Jonesie? Where is the lion?" asked the chief.
"Forget the damn lion!" he howled. "Which one of you idiots let the bull loose?"

一个小村庄正为一只食人狮所困扰。村长们派人去请伟大的猎手琼西来除掉这只野兽。
猎手埋伏了几个晚上，但狮子始终没有出现。最后，他让村长杀一头牛，把牛皮给他。他将牛皮披在身上，前往牧场等待。
半夜，村民们被牧场传来的令人毛骨悚然的尖叫声惊醒。他们小心翼翼地靠近，发现猎手正躺在地上痛苦地呻吟。狮子却不见踪影。
"发生什么事了，琼西？狮子在哪儿？"村长问道。
"别提那该死的狮子了！"他怒吼道，"是你们哪个傻瓜把公牛放出来了？"
