A wealthy old lady decides to go on a photo safari
in Africa, taking her faithful aged poodle named Cuddles, along for
the 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 damn monkey? I sent him off an hour ago to
bring me another leopard!"
Moral of this story...
Don't mess with old farts...age and treachery will always
overcome youth and skill! Bullshit and brilliance
only come with age and experience!
