Ill bet you a dollar you wont be the first person to photograph a lion. The two men shook hands on the bet. Then Smith stood up. Where are you going? Jones asked him. To photograph a lion, of course, Smith said. But its nearly dark, Jones argued. Wait until the morning. Its a waste of time going out now. But Smith wouldnt listen and went out.
