Kopa

Flash back...

I skip happily through the jungle with Tambo behind me.

"Kopa, where are we going now?" He asks.

I smile. "You'll see."

"We are getting kinda far from home. Don't you think?"

"Oh stop your worrying Tambo! I know the way back home. We're going to be fine trust me."

I continue leading the way. After a few more minutes of walking...

"We're here!" I beamed.

"Um Kopa, what exactly is this place?" Tambo asks, looking around.

"I don't know. But it looks fun! I didn't want to explore it alone, that's why I brought you here."

"I don't know Kopa. My tail is twitching and you know what that means when it twitches!"

I roll my eyes. "Yes. Your tail only twitches weirdly when you sense danger. Does anything here looks dangerous to you?"

"Yeah-"

"No? Like I thought."

Tambo frowns. I chuckle and playfully punch his shoulder.

"Come on dude, have some fun for once instead of pretending to be my mom."

"I am not!"

"Sureeee." I say teasing, while walking away.

Not paying any attention on what's below, my right paw got caught in something and had sent me flying high up in the air.

"KOPA!" Tambo yells.

"Agh! What the?"

I'm dangling upside down from a tree. My right paw is tangled in some type of vine-like material except it's rough and got a good tight grip. My furry risk is turning red and it hurts badly. I roar in pain.

"Tambo, help! Get me down from here." I say.

"I don't know Kopa, I'll try. Your so high up there." Tambo said. "Hmmm what to do?"

I start gnawing on the material, but it's too strong to break through. Each time I try to move my paw around the pain shots right back.

"Arghhhh!!"

Then there was a loud rustle sound coming from the large bushes.

"Someone is coming. Tambo, quick hide!" I warn.

Tambo quickly did as told. Two tall figures came out of the bushes with black pointy objects in their hands.

Hunters...

I wiggle around trying to free myself, but of course it was nothing but a failure. One of the figures walk up close. I growl and bravely swipe my left paw that's not caught in the vine-like material at them.

The figure laughed at me.

What's the joke?
