They seemed so sure.

The repeater and the explorer argued.
The explorer had seen lions.
The repeater had heard that there is no
such thing.
They argued until the repeater became an explorer
and saw for himself.
The two explorers complacent in their knowledge
could confirm the existance of lions.
Along came a chaos magician and saw their
sure-footed certainty.
He wanted to learn from them.
So he sat beside them and asked,
"Why are they called lions?"
The disturbed explorers soon
found out that not only are lions real
but tigers and bears and people dressed up like lions
,tigers and bears.
Frightened they sought the chaos magician.
They never found him.
But he enjoyed watching them search.
