An MP is driving by the zoo, when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion’s cage.
Suddenly, the lion grabs the cuff of her jacket sleeve and tries to pull her inside to
slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents.
The MP jumps off his bike, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with
a powerful punch. Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl,
and the MP brings her back to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly.
A reporter has seen the whole scene, and addressing the MP, says: “Sir, this was the
most gallant and brave thing I saw a man do in my whole life. What do you do for a living?”
“I’m a Member of Parliament. It was nothing, really. I just saw this little kid in danger and
did what I felt right.”
“Well, I’ll make sure this won’t go unnoticed. I’m a journalist, you know, and tomorrow’s
papers will have this on the first page. What party are you with?”
“The Conservative Party of Canada” says the MP.
The journalist leaves. The following morning, the MP buys the paper to see if it indeed
brings news of his actions, and reads, on the front page:
