One day, a man decided to go on a safari in Africa. As he was exploring the jungle, he came across a group of monkeys playing poker. Intrigued, the man decided to sit down and join in on the game.
The monkeys were surprisingly good at poker and the man soon found himself losing hand after hand. Frustrated, he decided to go all in on the next round. To his surprise, he won the hand and all of the monkeys started cheering and clapping.
Feeling confident, the man went all in again on the next round and once again he won. The monkeys were amazed and started handing over all of their bananas to the man as a prize.
The man couldn't believe his luck and decided to keep playing. But as the day went on, he started losing more and more hands. Eventually, he had lost all of the bananas he had won earlier.
Feeling defeated, the man got up to leave when one of the monkeys tapped him on the shoulder and said, "You know, it's not really fair for you to win all the time since you're the only human playing. So, we've decided to give you a consolation prize."
Curious, the man asked what the consolation prize was. The monkey replied, "Well, since you lost all of your bananas, we've decided to give you a chance to win them back. You see, there's a lion lurking nearby and if you can outrun him, you can take all the bananas you want."
The man's eyes widened in fear as he looked around and saw a lion slowly approaching them. Without hesitation, he turned and sprinted as fast as he could with the lion hot on his heels.
As the man ran for his life, he heard the monkeys laughing hysterically behind him. The lion was gaining on him and just as the man thought he couldn't run any faster, he tripped over a branch and fell flat on his face.
The lion pounced on him, ready to make a meal out of him when suddenly the man blurts out, "Hey, can we make a deal? How about we play a round of poker for my life?"
The lion was intrigued and agreed, so the man quickly shuffled the cards and dealt the hand. The tension in the air was palpable as the man and the lion played the game.
Finally, the man revealed his winning hand and the lion growled in frustration. The man let out a sigh of relief and said, "Well, looks like I've won again. So, are you hungry for some bananas instead?"
The lion reluctantly nodded and the man quickly grabbed a bunch of bananas and handed it over to the lion. The lion happily ate the bananas and walked away, leaving the man feeling relieved and victorious.
As he made his way back to civilization, the man couldn't help but chuckle at the absurdity of the situation. Who would have thought that a game of poker with monkeys and a lion would be the highlight of his safari adventure?
