A lion has to choose between two cans.

~&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Under the hum and glow of the economically placed lamps above, the lion carefully regarded the options presented between the two cans he held.  
~&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Lentils and Bean Soup, with a red label and some sort of swirly font along the bottom rim.  
~&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A confused glare.  
~&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Beans and Lentil Stew, with a green label and some sort of vines depicted along the bottom rim.  
~&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; So much apart, so little common, and no useful difference that the lion could discern.  
~&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; With a loud groan, Kyle returned both cans to the shelves. He picked up a bag of rice on his way to select an onion from the produce department.
