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 a way 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 damn 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!
