The Old Poodle
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 she's lost. Wandering about, she
notices a leopard heading rapidly in her 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, she immediately settles down
to chew on the bones with her 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 her back to her attackers, pretending she
hasn't seen them yet, and just when they get close enough to hear, the old poodle
says: "Where's that dang 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!
