Nayef is son of famous Saudi poet
The son of a famous Saudi poet was attacked by a lion during TV filming of the poet and was rescued by the predator’s trainer at the last minute.
The lion was left with the boy, Nayef, as his father Ziad Ibn Naheet recited poems in front of the camera in a deserted area in the Gulf Kingdom.
A YouTube film showed the lion chased the boy, pushed him down and grabbed him from the back before the trainer managed to control the animal.
“Suddenly the lion jumped on the son, Nayef, who tried to flee. The boy could have been killed by the lion if its trainer did not jump and restrain it on time,” ‘Sada’ newspaper said without mentioning where in Saudi Arabia the film was shot.
Some trainer—not too bright, the boy was prey-sized.
There once was a lion a Arabia
Who thought the raghead reciting poetry was afraida
So out on a whim
He took the child for a spin
And that was the all the movie they made-a
Snausages!
What could go wrong?
*snicker*
My first thought was they have (wild) lions in Saudi Arabia?
Bad kitty.
I’m glad the boy is ok.
What could go wrong with a large, wild predator running loose on a film set?
There was an old Scot named McTavish
Who attempted a gibbon to ravish
..But the
There was a young girl named O’Brien
Who tried to teach hymns to a lion.
..Of the lady, there’s some
..In the lion’s tum-tum:
The rest twangs a harp up in Zion.
Love the second one!!
