Once upon a time, there lived a mighty King named Dudly, in the land of Lalaland. There were no problems in his kingdom. He was the proud King of a happy people. But, he had one problem. He was a very bored King.

One day, King Dudlly decided to go on a hunting trip with his son, Pip. Pip was a happy little boy, and he was only 10 years old. Since he was the only son of the King, everybody just called him "boy." Pip did not know what a hunting trip was or why he was going, but he knew he was going somewhere special with his father. He was very excited to go hunting, even though he did not know the meaning of the word.

"What's hunting?" the boy asked his father. "It's when you go to the forest and chase down a tiger,” said the King.

"Oh, I see," the boy replied, nodding his head.

A few minutes later, he asked his father, "Why do we want to chase a tiger?"

"So we can shoot it!" replied the King.

"Oh, I see," the boy replied, nodding his head again.

A few minutes later, the boy continued, "What will we do with the tiger's picture?" The boy was confused, and could not yet understand why they would travel so far away to shoot a picture of a tiger. Little did the boy know that the King really wanted to shoot the tiger with a gun!

Being a little annoyed, the King replied, "You are asking too many questions, my boy! Go to your mother. She will help you pack your underwear and bottle of milk! We will be gone for a few days. My boy, I'm taking you hunting so that you can learn to be a strong, fearless, and great man like your father! Now off you go, at once!"

The King, his servants, and the boy went on elephant back to the jungle. The boy was smiling and excited!

"Alright! We're going hunting! We're going hunting! I'm so happy father!"

"That's right my boy, we’re going hunting," replied his father with a smile. Little did the boy know that the trip was just beginning; it would take a very long time before the hunting could begin, because the jungle was far, far away from Lalaland.

A few hours later, the boy was exhausted. "I thought we were going hunting!" the boy cried. "It's a long trip," explained Jordon, one of the King's body guards.

"It will take one day just to get to the jungle. The real adventure begins tomorrow."

"Oh, I see," the boy replied, in a sad voice. He was sad and tired. He just put his head down and fell asleep right on the elephant!

The next morning, the party was well rested, and had a delicious breakfast. They were all feeling fresh and alive. They entered the jungle on elephant back. The boy was smiling and excited, "Alright! We're finally going hunting! We're finally going hunting! I'm so happy father!"

"That's right my boy, we’re finally going hunting," replied his father, with a smile. For hours and hours they roamed in the jungle, looking for a tiger. After a few hours, the boy was tired. "Hunting is boring!" cried the boy.

"Tiger is not easy to find," explained Jordon.

"It will take some time to find. That is part of the adventure."

"Oh, I see," the boy replied silently in a sad, quiet voice. He was sad and tired. He just put his head down and fell asleep right on the elephant!
