Wonderland, Going Down The Rabbit Hole

D. 1 Tweedledum and Tweedledee D.1

Prompt: Contrariwise-Write a conversation between the most unlikely of companion. Think completely opposite ends of the spectrum and what they could possibly talk about.

A zebra and a lion.

Lion: "Mr. Zebra, I could chase you and eat you."

Zebra: "You and your pride ate some of my family members. Do we taste that good?"

Lion: "Yes, you are food. I don't make the rules. I have to survive."

Zebra: "Me, too. We eat grass."

Lion: "I eat grass when I have a belly ache."

Zebra: "There is a man hunting lions and zebras."

Lion: "You think we should work together and call a truce for now?"

Zebra: "Yes. I will neigh and kick and so will my friends if the man and his party show up."

Lion: "Deal. I will growl and so will my pride and we will chase these men off."

Zebra: "Sounds good. I like the green grass and Africa."

Lion: Me, too. My pride and I like playing in the water."

Zebra: "I have two new sons."

Lion: I have a new daughter and two sons."

Zebra: "Here is that man."

Lion: "Show time."

Pause: The lion goes to his pride and the zebra goes to his family and chase off the men and the lions attack the men and they leave. No animals were hurt.

Zebra: "Thanks for your help."

Lion: "Thank you, too. Okay. Here is the thing. My pride and I will attack the zebras on the other side of the jungle and not attack you and your family."

Zebra: "Good because we have been feuding with these zebras for years. That's why we don't live by them."

Lion:" My pride and I won't bother you anymore."

Zebra: "Can I come hang out with you and talk?

Lion: "I would like that. Catch you later. Bye."

Zebra: Bye."

This lion and his pride stayed friends with these zebras but the other zebras on the other side of the jungle were fair game.
