Tags: Fairy Tale
As my father explained to me when I was four years old the most dangerous beast in the world is the Chuckle Lion. They look like a normal lion but are a lot bigger. Almost the size of a small elephant.
I’m not sure how big, small elephants are but they must be big compared to a regular lion.
The Chuckle Lion is dangerous because it has a poison stinger in its tail. One stab and you are done for.
Its claws are long and sharp. When I asked how long he showed me a ruler. He told me the claws were so tough they could tear up the street outside of our house.
I know that street is hard because I skinned my knee on it that day.
The Chuckle Lion’s fangs were so sharp they could bite railroad track in two. The fangs are longer than a saber tooth tigers. Whatever that is.
Dad told me that he had only seen a Chuckle Lion once. It was a long time ago when they called him Sir Jack and he rode a horse through the forest hunting for dragons.
The forest was dark and lonely. The sunlight never made it to the ground. Some of the trees were dead and their bare limbs looked like arms that were about to grab you.
Whenever daddy told me about this part, I had to climb on his lap to be safe. It was scary!
I thought dragons sounded frightening, but he assured me Chuckle Lions were worse.
Anyway, he was riding his horse through the forest one day and he heard this chuckling sound in front of him. When he looked up there was a Chuckle Lion sitting in a tree about to pounce on him.
