What does the rabbit say?
“No you won’t. I’m too fast.”
What does the tiger say?
“No matter how much I eat, I am always hungry.”
What does the lion say?
“It’s lonely at the top.”
What does the Queen say?”
“I’m so tired of taking care of everyone. When will someone take care of me?”
What does the King say?
“Mistakes were made.”
What does the deer say?
