Please forgive me for this one, but I just have to get it off my chest.

All the animals in the jungle were shocked by the scream of anguish which echoed through the undergrowth. Racing in the direction the scream came from they found Thomas the toad sobbing uncontrollably. When they’d calmed him down he said, “Somebody has stolen my 4 point tool. I hid it under this bush before going to sleep last night, and when I woke up this morning it was gone. Boo-hoo-hoo,” and he started crying again.

The other animals felt sorry for him and decided to hunt the culprit down. Days were spent with no luck and then Michael the monkey called out, “I’ve just discovered that there is a newcomer to our jungle. I bet he stole Thomas’ 4 point tool. Lets track this newcomer down and put it to him.”

Next day they came across the remains of some poor creature who hadn’t run fast enough. Carefully looking around they saw footprints in the moist ground. They followed them until they came to a large, black, sleeping animal.

“Who are you?” called Peter the parrot. “Come on, who are you?” There was no response so he called out louder. Eventually the sleeping animal awoke and peering around, asked, “what’s it to you?”

“We just like to know a little bit about newcomers to our jungle - who they are and what they do” replied Peter Parrot. “We’ve had a thief and one of our members has lost a 4 point tool. Would you know anything about it?”

“Well naturally,” replied the black animal as he stood up and puffed his chest out,
“I know all about it - you see, I’m a Jaguar - a 4 point tool eater Jaguar.”
