I’ve fallen into a fountain before. Yep. Not afraid to say it. I mean, it’s been a couple of years now, so the embarrassment has worn off. Thank goodness, because it was embarrassing, and I thought I would never live it down! I guess it was pretty funny. I was dancing and got so into the beautiful music that I didn’t see the short ledge. My shoe got caught, and I lost my footing, ending up with me in the pond of the fountain, soaking wet and everyone, including myself, laughing! It’s the kind of thing where you have to laugh it off, as long as you didn’t hurt yourself (and if you did, hopefully, you have a quick-thinking friend nearby!).
We all have klutzy moments. Sometimes, we’re just not paying attention, or we lose focus, or something distracts us. With so many things to take our eyes away from what’s ahead of us (ahem… text messages… Instagram… metaspoon.com..), multitasking is a little harder to do in 2018 than it was a few years back!
And while lions don’t text message (would be pretty cool if they did!), this video just goes to show how one little step can knock your whole day outta whack! But it depends how quickly you recover! Take this stunning lion. The king of the jungle. The head of the pride. A ferocious animal able to strike fear into the heart of any man. They’re funny animals, too!
These two lion buddies are taking a stroll through their home at the zoo, and while they’re a little too close to the edge of the water, neither seem to mind. It’s as if they’re both engaged in a riveting conversation about the fabulous chunk of meat they ate for dinner, or what time the cubs need to be put to bed. Whatever it is, the fierce and gorgeous lion to the right takes one little misstep. He knows immediately he’s going down – watch his tail as he tries to regain balance and rectify his last move.
Too late. He’s headfirst into the water, making a big splash and freaking out his partner on the solid ground. The grounded lion looks on, completely bewildered and unsure what to do as the wet lion lifts his head and “kitty” paddles around the perimeter of the pool to shallow water. Seems like he’s not thrilled, but knows exactly what to do! Poor big kitty! At least he got a proper washing and recovered well!
