Daily Joke: Zoo Worker Is Close to Losing His Life in a Lion's Cage    

One day, a zoo director received the good news that the country's dictator president was coming over to visit with his little son. He immediately informed all his staff members, who were thoroughly elated to welcome such an honorary guest.

"Listen to me very carefully," said the zoo director. "As you all know, we haven't been receiving many customers since the past few weeks, but the president's visit can change things for us. He will be checking things closely, so I want all of you to be on your toes."

"But sir, many of the zoo animals have already died. If the dictator asks us anything about them, what will we say? We can't even arrange a replacement so soon because there's hardly any time left," said one of the zoo workers.

"Hmmm, now that is something to worry about. Wait, let me think about what we can do," said the director.

Just then, his phone started ringing and it was the president calling. After he was done talking, he looked as if something terrible had happened.

"What is it, sir?" asked one worker and the soo director replied:

"Okay, we have a problem. The dictator's son is very fond of deer but we don't have any left because all of them died. So I want one of you to wear a deer costume and pretend to be one."

He waited for a few minutes, but when nobody volunteered for the position, he randomly picked one of the zoo workers and ordered him to get dressed as a deer. Soon afterward, the dictator president came with his son and was received warmly by the workers.

As was expected, he accompanied his son to where the deer sat but was surprised by something peculiar.

"Why is there only one deer and why is he not moving?" asked the president.

The director was utterly scared because, for a brief moment, he thought that the president had caught his lie. Regardless, he stayed calm and continued.

"It is sick, Mr. President. As you see most of them died but your son has incredible luck because we still have one deer left," replied the zoo director.

"Well, okay. I was thinking that since it can't move and it's very ill, then it's better to take it to the lion so my son can see how the lion eats it," suggested the president.

The director complied with his request and called two more workers who took the deer to the lion's cage. On the way, the deer kept sobbing uncontrollably, and yelled, "Let me go, please. I don't want to die."

"The president will kill you if you take off the costume. Don't worry, lions don't torture their prey before eating it," said the two workers, trying to calm the crying worker dressed as a deer.

Soon, they reached the lion's cage and the deer was taken inside it. He was shaking with fear as the lion closed the distance between them, and said,

"Don't worry, brother. I'm Adam, the night shift security officer."

Even a lion's cage can be full of surprises!
