AN OLD DOG HAS SOME NEW TRICKS TOO
A wealthy lady decides to go on a photo safari to Africa, taking her
elderly poodle along for company.
One day the poodle starts chasing butterflies and before long
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 s--t 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?"
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. 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 seewhat'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 the attackers, pretending
he hasn't seen them yet. Just when they get close enough to hear, the
old poodle says: "Where's that monkey? I sent him off an hour ago to
bring me another leopard!"
