The snake versus the Mantis
One day in the animal kingdom, king Lion hosted a wrestling competition just right after the race competition between the box tortoise and the brown hare. Everyone cheered the tortoise for its slow but steady movement, then came the main event which everyone had been waiting for the praying mantis and the snake.
Well it was a death match between these two local folks; as both were about tearing each other apart due to just a silly argument on whose camouflage is the best. The green snake refused to agree even though it was evident the praying mantis was the leading camouflage animal.
The Lion thought why not settle your dispute at the festival of the kings. Mr. Harmattandust the pig snorts while dishing out odds for the death match, well the odds were on the green snake favor to win. Miss Elephanton, big brother croc, and pastor chimp were the few animals who placed their bet on the mantis.
The snake moved its head left and then to the right, and back to the left repeating such subtle pattern as he got closer to the mantis. The mantis positioned a stance with its forward legs up and puff itself just to appear big and intimidating. But the serpent didn't buy such lie it jumped and made its first strike at the mantis.
The mantis luckily escaped the fangs of the serpent (the green snake nick name) and made a comeback attack with a lightening strike as the serpent was trying to regain its balance to get a second strike; unluckily within the twinkling of its reptilian eyes, it found itself choking in the spiky arms of the Mantis.
Despite the fact the mantis locked his arm (fore legs) around the serpent head, the serpent still struggled to free itself but all seemed abortive, the serpent calm itself after all no one can strangle a snake, as it has no neck.
The cheering of the crowd metamorphos into silence as the unthinkable happened, the mantis started feasting on the live serpent. The serpent yelled and cried in sorrow as it hit its tail continuously on the ground, to pass a message of submission but there was no referee, no rules, it is to the death.
The crowd again started cheering to the gore happenings in front of them as the mantis had eaten up the eye of the serpent and had already gotten to the left side of the brain . The mantis had had its full, he unlocked its grip and looked at the ever cheering crowd while shouting like a viking after slaughtering the fvcking Saxons.
The Lion smiled in approval as it was crowned king of the insects. Later that evening the Mantis would go and bath in the blood of the dead snake and forever live as a red mantis, no need for hiding. It is only the weak that camouflage
