Dog |
A wealthy man
decided to go on a safari in Africa. He took his faithful pet dog
along for company. One day the dog starts chasing butterflies and
before long he discovers that he is lost.
So, wandering about he notices a leopard heading rapidly in his direction
with the obvious intention of having lunch. The dog thinks, "Boyo,
I'm in deep doo doo now."Then he noticed some bones on the ground
close by, and immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his
back to the approaching cat. Just as the leopard is about to leap,
the dog exclaims loudly, "Man, that was one delicious leopard. I wonder
if there are any more around here?". Hearing this the leopard halts
his attack in mid stride, as a look of terror comes over him, and
slinks away into the trees. "Whew", says the leopard. "That was close.
That dog 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 dog saw him
heading after the leopard with great speed, and figured 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 cat 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 dog 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 dog says,
"Where's that monkey. I just can never trust him. I sent him off half
an hour ago to bring me another leopard, and he's still not back!!"
