The Lost Wig

A funny old lion, who had the misfortune of losing his mane, decided to wear a wig while taking a stroll on a particularly windy day. As he walked, he looked up and spotted one of the charming Tiger sisters across the street. Wishing to make a good impression, he smiled blandly and executed a beautiful low bow.

At that very moment, a clever gust of wind swept through, and his wig flew off, leaving him standing there feeling foolish and looking even worse, with his bald head glistening like a billiard ball. Though he felt somewhat embarrassed at first, the lion quickly regained his composure. He smiled at the lady and said, "Is it any wonder that another fellow's hair shouldn't stay on my head when my own wouldn't remain there?"

With a quick wit, he turned an awkward situation into a moment of humor, proving that wit always has an answer ready.
