The Hyena.

[imported_Adam]

A gorilla was sitting in his tree minding his own business when a Hyena came tearing past him closely pursued by a lion. The lion eventually caught the hyena and then proceeded to give him a severe beating. When the Hyena could take no more the lion just calmly walked away leaving the Hyena battered and bruised. The Hyena hobbled over to where the gorilla was sitting in his tree and sat down to lick his wounds. The gorilla came down from his tree and asked the Hyena why the lion had beaten him up. The hyena explained that the lion was a bully and that every time he saw him he would beat him up without any provocation. The gorilla became angry and vowed that he would help the hyena the next time the lion picked on him. The hyena thanked the gorilla and then hobbled off home.

A couple of weeks later the gorilla was in his tree again when he suddenly spotted the hyena bolting towards him closely followed by the lion. But before he reached the gorilla's tree the lion caught him and began to give him a right good hiding. The hyena looked up to the gorilla for help but he remained seated in his tree. Eventually the lion walked off leaving the hyena battered and bruised once again. The hyena picked himself up and shouted up to the gorilla; " Fat lot of use you were I thought you said that you was going to help me." The gorilla replied; " You were laughing so much that I thought you was winning."
