Uninvited Tiger

Check out tales for children-in-adults, too. This particular one had the elephant literally lording over the jungle. As usual, the smaller bodies and minds were fawning over him. They decide to pay Christmas homage and gather food for the feast at the elephant's lair. Except the feared tiger, who was banned from the plan.
Of course, the elephant didn't have EQ and promptly ate it all. So on Christmas Eve, they had no pie, nothing. Tiger to the rescue who said, "Don't be frightened, I only want to have you for dinner," which led to a stampede. "No, I' m inviting all of you to have Christmas dinner with me!"

That's clearer. Idioms, semantics, lingo can get in the way of understanding each other, as well as preconceived notions, biases, prejudices. Mediation should be above all these. Keep it simple, direct, straight-to-the-point. No Miss Understanding lol
