A BUSY DAY IN THE JUNGLE
JOHN and MACK, two modern Munchausens, decide to hunt big game in the jungle and do not overlook the notebooks in which they are to keep an account of their experiences. On the border of the jungle John shoots a rabbit and makes the following notation in his diary: “Killed before breakfast this morning, two lions, three elephants and one giraffe.”
In their travels the brave hunters are pursued by a ferocious lion and hastily climb a palm tree. The lion leaves in disgust 'but continues the chase when the unsuspecting hunters descend.
John and Mack discover a band of cannibals in the distance and find themselves between two fires. They take a
chance on the cannibals, however, as the lion is close at their heels, but they find they have left the frying pan ti> fall into the fire.
The cannibals prepare for a feast day and John, taking out his notebook, inscribes : “Captured by the cannibals onthe 17th of March. Good-by.” While making this notation he observes a statement in the book that an eclipse of the sun is scheduled. Just at that moment the sky begins to darken and; John, playing upon the credulity of the savages, claims to be responsible for the extinguishing of the sun. The na
tives fall prostrate and the mighty hunters make their escape.
