I'll give it a try:
Hiram and Elizabeth, the legendary lion whisperers, had spent decades on the savannah living, sleeping, and socializing with the king of the beasts. Many a lion had benefited from their wise tutelage, their loving care, their strict routines, and were fully trained as service animals to the unfortunate in the neighboring villages. On a quick visit to Mboso, the capital city, the pair tried to connect with several of their former lions and their new masters. It quickly became apparent that all was not right with their lion friends. They milled around their masters, bared fangs, let out giant coughs, and generally let their displeasure be known by the flip of their tails as they gazed up at Hiram and Elizabeth. Hiram tried to soothe the savage beasts by flipping treats to them, but after several haunches of gazelle were quickly fought over and devoured, Elizabeth piped in--We need to figure out how to KEEP from agitating them further, are you crazy?

Rob and Billy, hunting buddies since childhood, arrived at their favorite hunting spot deep in the south Georgia woods, miles and miles away from any forms of life that walked on two legs, or so they thought. Before climbing up to their stands they noticed some strange footprints. Billy asked Rob what he thought could have made such an unusual print. They were shaped like a small childs but had three appendages that looked like prongs going out each side of the foot. Rob said he had never seen anything like it before but thought it might be someone playing a joke on them. They both were startled by a grotesque sound coming from the bushes and turned to see several little green and yellow men running toward them. Still thinking it was a joke, after all Halloween was in a few days, Billy picked up a stick and swung it playfully at the one closest to him. The men were all around them by this time and were chanting the grotesque sound together as they spit out some green slimy gook that stuck to Rob's and Billy's skin. Billy again poked the stick in the face of one of the little men. Rob yelled, "We need to figure out how to KEEP from agitating them further, are you crazy?"
