Three hungry lions wander across the Serengeti National Park in search of food when they stumble upon an old oil lamp.
Having never seen one before, and being naturally curious, they start sniffing around it. As they’re doing this, one of their tails brushes against the lamp and then there’s a ‘Poof!’ sound.’ A genie is suddenly standing in front of them.
“Lions,” says the genie, “I’m the genie of the lamp and I’ll grant you three wishes. That’s one wish for each of you.”
The first lion’s so hungry he doesn’t need to think very hard.
“I would like a big, juicy piece of meat please,” he says.
Poof! In a flash, the biggest, juiciest piece of meat is lying on the ground in front of him.
Well, it’s the turn of the second lion and he’s so hungry he decides he wants even more.
“I want a shower of meat, please,” he says.
Poof! In a flash, there are big, juicy pieces of meat falling from the sky.
Not wishing to be outdone by his friends, the third lion thinks hard for a second or two.
“Got it!” he says. “I want a meatier shower!”
