English Original
A village was plagued by a man-eating lion. Its leaders summoned the great hunter, Jonesie, to kill the beast. For nights, he waited in vain. Finally, he asked the chief for a cow's hide. Draping it over his shoulders, he went to the pasture to wait.
At midnight, villagers were awakened by blood-curdling shrieks from the pasture. They approached cautiously 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?"

一个小村庄被一头食人狮困扰。村中长老请来了伟大的猎手琼西来消灭这头猛兽。他连续守候了几夜,狮子却始终没有出现。最后,他让村长杀了一头牛,把牛皮给他。他将牛皮披在肩上,前往牧场等待狮子。
午夜时分,村民们被牧场传来的骇人尖叫声惊醒。他们小心翼翼地靠近,发现猎手倒在地上,痛苦地呻吟着。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!"他咆哮道。"是你们哪个白痴把公牛放出来了?"
