Read the story and fill in the gaps using “what (a/an)” or “how”. There was once a lion who thought he was the king of the jungle. (1) brave lion I am!” he said to himself. (2) frightened everyone is of me!” To prove his point he went up to a monkey and said, (3) “ foolish you look! Tell me, who’s the king of the jungle?” (4) “ silly question!” replied the monkey. “Why, you are, of course.”
The lion then went up to a giraffe and said, (5) “ long neck you have! Tell me, who’s the king of the jungle?” (6) “ kind of you to ask!” said the giraffe. “Why, you are, or course.”
The lion then went up to a hippopotamus and said, (7) “ fat you are! Tell me, who’s the king of the jungle?” (8) “ good manners you have!” said the hippopotamus. “Why, you are, or course.”
The lion then went up to a parrot and said, (9) talkative you are! Tell me, who’s the king of the jungle?” (10) “ easy question!” said the parrot. “Why, you are, or course.”
Finally the lion went up to an elephant and said, (11) “ big ears you have! Tell me, who’s the king of the jungle?” (12) “ rude animal you are!” replied the elephant, lifting the lion with its trunk, swinging him in the air and throwing him on the ground.
The lion, picking himself up, exclaimed, (13) “ bad-tempered elephant you are! There’s no need to be so ride just because you don’t know the answer!”
