The Lion and the Lamborghini

Human history is quite an interesting story, looking back that is. The one's of old, my ancestors, started out as hungry scavengers and cautious gatherers, then became skilled hunters and creative inventors, now all I see around me are frugal shoppers and innocent bystanders. Drunk on a train to a small zoo, in a big city, in a small state, in a big country, I met an old man from the future. The future he talked about was not minutes or days ahead of the present, it was decades away and, as he said many a time, we would not live to see it. One ranted story caught my attention more than the rest, it is a story of dexterity and peace, it is the story of The Lion and the Lamborghini......
Want and need are words tossed around here and there without too much of a thought to their actual meaning. A Lion needs to hunt and kill to eat and survive and a human needs a Lamborghini to attract a suitable mate to procreate. That is how it was in the past, things are different tens of thousands of days in the future. When all of man, minus one, left the planet Earth because the needs here were too small and the food for the need was in the cosmos, life was simple. At this time in evolution, many animals had evolved thought and reason. The animals who came out ahead in this evolution were, unsurprisingly, the hunters. Of the many hunters on planet Earth, the Lions developed the biggest wit and intellect. Using their evolved smarts, the Lions became more picky with which foods they were eating and required a drink with their meal. Then eventually the Lions began raising their own food on farms and stores were opened up with the shelves full of delicious meat. On the day Lions began wearing clothing there were ten tornados, a hurricane or two, and an earthquake on every continent. It was a day to be celebrated. Years wasted away and the one man left on planet Earth was getting older. There was peace between Lions and Lambs, because another meat was preferred by the Lions. All was well on planet Earth again. The one man left on planet Earth wanted to go back to a more simple time. Left on planet Earth after the abandonment was a very unusual machine. It was a machine that looked like a train car. There was one button in this machine, it was yellow and had the word "PAST" etched into it. Once at the machine, before pressing the yellow button, the man glanced outside to see a Lion, driving a Lamborghini.
