A wealthy old lady decides to go on a photo safari in Africa, taking her faithful aged poodle, named Cuddles, along for company.
One day Cuddles starts chasing butterflies and before long 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, furious at being made a fool of ,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. When they get close enough to hear , the old poodle says:
“Where’s that dadgum monkey? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another leopard!”
Moral of this story..
Don’t mess with old fogies…. Age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill!
Bull and brilliance only come with age and experience!
