Eleanor’s younger brother Freder was a simple youth.
One 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.”
