Victim Hunter
A hunter on hunting field
Hunting dengerous animals.
Trapping their ways
And hid behind a baobab tree.
A Clever leopard found out the traps
And hid on the tree to ambush the hunter.
A nyala cuptured by one trap
Screaming for help
The hunter was happy,
So happy to eat the bush meat soon.
The leopard was happy to see,
The owner of the traps soon.
Hunter rushed to terminate the nyala,
Leopard jumped on his neck
And killed him.
Wild dogs and hyenas reached the place.
Leopard escaped with the body
Of the hunter on the tree.
Other hunters saw the action
And rushed to help the victim
But he kicked the bucket.
The leopard could not come down ,
Wild dogs and hyenas celebrated the meat.
Hunters up in arms
The body of their friend hanging on the tree.
Leopard terrified to see more enemies
No way to escape,
Seeing it death soon.
Hunters shot the leopard,
Dead and fallen.
They carried the body of their friend
home for burial, leopard for braia.
The skin of the leopard was kept
For remembrance
The story about a hunter who was
ambushed by a leopard flew all over.
