Answer 1

The irony and humor in the lion and the tigers' adventure in "The Cowardly Lion and the Hungry Tiger" lies in the reversal of expectations.

Step-by-step explanation:

In "The Cowardly Lion and the Hungry Tiger," the irony and humor in the lion and the tigers' adventure lies in the reversal of expectations. The lion, known for its bravery, is cowardly, while the tiger, known for its ferocious appetite, is hungry all the time. This unexpected twist adds a comedic element to the story.

For example, the lion is so afraid of being eaten by the tigers that he gives them his share of the food, even though he is extremely hungry. On the other hand, the tiger is constantly demanding food and is willing to eat anything, including inedible items like talking fruit. The contrast between the lion's cowardice and the tiger's hunger creates a humorous and ironic situation.

Answer 2

In the story of the Cowardly Lion and the Hungry Tiger, we first see the two characters inside the empty throne room of Ozma, bored and sadly very much aware of their uselessness as guardians. They talked about the good old days when they used to be feared. They proceeded to make up stories of how fearsome they were. The Cowardly Lion professed that he can tear men/women into pieces, while the Hungry Tiger said he would eat fat babies. But when they proceeded to act upon their words they were forced to realize that they were indeed harmless and good animals who would rather be called cowardly and hungry than harm a woman or eat a child.
