A butcher watching over his shop is really surprised when he sees a dog entering the shop. He shoos it away, but the dog is back again in a while. So, he goes over to the dog and notices it has a note in its mouth.
He takes the note and it reads, "Can I have 12 sausages and a leg of lamb, please." The dog also has money in its mouth. The butcher looks inside and there is a ten dollar note there. So he takes the money and puts the sausages and lamb in a bag, placing it in the dog's mouth. The dog takes it and trots away.
The butcher is so impressed, and since it's about closing time, he decides to shut the shop and follow the dog. The dog is walking down the street, when it comes to a level crossing. It puts down the bag, jumps up and presses the button. Then it waits patiently, bag in mouth, for the lights to turn. Once they do, it walks across the road, with the butcher following all the way.
The dog then comes to a bus stop and starts looking at the timetable. The butcher is in awe as the dog stops a bus by pulling its left leg up and gets in it. He follows the dog into the bus. Then the dog shows to the bus conductor, a ticket that is tied to its belt. The butcher cannot believe his eyes, nor can the other passengers in the bus.
The dog then sits near the driver's seat, looking outside and waiting for its bus stop to appear. As soon as the stop is in sight, the dog stands and wags its tail to alert the conductor. Then, just as the bus stops, it jumps out of the bus and runs to a house very close to the stop. It opens a big iron gate and rushes inside towards the door.
As it approaches the wooden door, the dog suddenly changes its mind and heads towards the garden in stead. It goes to the window, beats its head against it several times and then jumps off, to go and wait at the door.
The butcher watches as a big guy opens the door, and starts abusing the dog and swearing at it.
Utterly surprised upon seeing him react like this, the butcher runs up and stops the guy, asking him, "What in heaven's name are you doing? The dog is a genius. It could be on TV for the life of me!"
The big guy responds, "You call this clever? This is the second time this week that this stupid dog's forgotten its key at home."
Moral of the story: You may continue to exceed an onlooker's expectations, but shall still fall short of the boss' expectations!
