Eleanor's younger brother Freder was a simple youth. On day, Eleanor's
husband, Babo, went to Africa in a hunting trip accompanied by Freder. About 3
weeks later, she received a telegram from her brother saying: "Bano died in
hunting a lion." In great sorrow, Eleanor sent an answer to her brother saying:
"Send the dead body home."
Three weeks later, a parcel arrived from Africa in which was the corpse of
a lion.
Eleanor sent an urgent telegram back to Freder: "Lion received. You are
wrong. Wanted dead Babo." The next day she received a final telegram from
Freder: "I'm not wrong. Babo and one of my legs are in the abdominal cavity of
the lion."
