Hello friends,
This one is fantastic....lol
_ - _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ - - - -- _
A wealthy old lady decides to go on a safari in Africa, taking
her faithful aged poodle named Cuddles along for company.
One day the poodle starts chasing butterflies and before long,
Cuddles discovers that he's lost. Wandering about, he notices a
leopard heading rapidly in his direction with the intention of
having lunch.
The old poodle thinks, "Oh, oh! I'm in deep doo-doo now!"
Noticing some bones on the ground close by, he immediately
settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the
approaching cat. Just as the leopard is about to leap the old
poodle exclaims loudly, "Boy, that was one delicious leopard! I
wonder if there are any more around here?"'
Hearing this, the young leopard halts his attack in mid-strike,
a look of terror comes over him and he slinks away into the
trees. "Whew!", says the leopard, "That was close! That old
poodle nearly had me!"
Meanwhile, a monkey who had been watching the whole scene from a
nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and
trade it for protection from the leopard. So off he goes, but
the old poodle sees him heading after the leopard with great
speed, and figures that something must be up. The monkey soon
catches up with the leopard, spills the beans and strikes a deal
for himself with the leopard.
The young leopard is furious at being made a fool of and says,
"Here, monkey, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to
that conniving canine!"
Now, the old poodle sees the leopard coming with the monkey on
his back and thinks, "What am I going to do now?", but instead
of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers,
pretending he hasn't seen them yet, and just when they get close
enough to hear, the old poodle says, "Where's that blasted
monkey? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another leopard!"
Moral of this story...
Age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill!
