distracted. A monkey drops down from one of the trees and bites off one of the prince's fingers. The prince is infuriated and has his aide thrown into prison.
"A month later, the prince goes out on another excursion. This time he and his men are captured by cannibals. They are superstitious, and only eat 'perfect' people. Since the prince is not perfect, having lost a finger, they let him go, though they keep and later eat his entourage.
"Upon returning to his village, the prince is so happy to be alive that he grants amnesty to all prisoners, including his former aide. He even apologizes for having him jailed to begin with.
"'Ah, but my prince. Had I not been in prison, I would have been killed and eaten along with the others. So, really, who's to say?'"
"Nice story,” Betty said. “I'm a big fan of Africa. The Lion King , in fact, is one of my favorite animated movies. I'm fuzzy, though, on what your overall point is and how it pertains to me."
Martin leaned in close and said, “If you're paddling upstream in a canoe and a wheel falls off, how many pancakes fit in a doghouse?”
Betty blinked. “What?”
“None. Because ice cream doesn't have bones.”
“I don't understand.”
“An honest bit of nonsense. We'll talk about it at a future time.” The pair finished eating, Martin brought out a coffee cake for dessert.
“It's not as good as some of the ones you make, but I think you'll find it tasty,” he said.
“It looks delicious,” Betty replied.
The pair sat, ate, and visited for a spell longer, each glad to have good company to spend time with.
