Camping With Lions

Mmm...baby food!

Alex's French teacher has a new baby, so he won't be going camping this year.   That's because an infant's cry attracts lions much like blood seduces sharks.   A lion will barge into a tent, snatch the crying tot, and gobble him right up.

"Aren't there fences around the campgrounds to keep out the wildlife?"  asked Eric.

"It's not necessary.  Lions don't bother campers unless there is a baby," he explained nonchalantly.

I'm not convinced.  Seems to me a campground is a lion's vending machine...an assortment of tasty morsels in nylon wrappers.  

So after careful consideration I've decided to pass on camping this year.   I'd rather go rafting with crocodiles.
