I don't believe that's our ring. I don't get wrong, I'll believe you're right. No, see. Hello, Johnum Downstone. This is Robin Abner. And now, let's see what's going on down in Pine Ridge. Since Abner, through a misunderstanding, bought a real lion to put out in front of their new library, the lion has become much more important than the library.
In fact, Irving, that's the lion, is scheduled to appear at a school social tonight with Cedric as his trainer. However, Lum has different ideas about who the lion's trainer should be. At looking on my little community today, we find Lum inside the cage.
What's Cedric is working on it, and the lion is sitting over in the corner of the feed room watching them. Listen. Listen. Is that a leavey enough room in there now, Mr. Lowam? There I see.
Yeah. Yeah, that's fine. If you got the glass facing in good and tight now. This mom, it won't come out. Well, what if the line gets the point and scratching it to glass? Well, I don't think urban can break it.
It's pretty thick glass. Well, I hope so. Alright, put the line in the other side that cage with me and see how it works out. This mom. Come on over, old boy. Back in the cage.
He's a hopeless, glass-pertation hoe's alright. Well, it'll hold alright. That's it, Erm. That's the time. Into the cage, old boy. Granny's listening to that. Granny's every time he gets near me. Wonder why he hates me so much.
Oh, I don't think he hates you, Mr. O. Now, that's alright, Erm. Nice boy. Back in your cage there. See, Mr. O, the grass works good. Erm, no, hardly even pay no attention to you.
