[size=+0] The Poodle ...... And the leopard [/size]
[size=+0]A wealthy old lady decides to go on a photo safari in Africa, taking her [/size][size=+0]faithful aged poodle named Cuddles along for the company. [/size]
[size=+0]One day the poodle starts chasing butterflies and before long, Cuddles [/size][size=+0]discovers that he's lost. [/size]
[size=+0]Wandering about, he notices a leopard heading rapidly in his direction with[/size][size=+0] the intention of having lunch. [/size]
[size=+0]The old poodle thinks, "Oh, oh! I'm in deep doo-doo now!" Noticing some [/size][size=+0]bones on the ground close by, he immediately settles down to chew on the[/size]
[size=+0]bones with his back to the approaching cat. [/size]
[size=+0]Just as the leopard is about to leap the old poodle exclaims loudly, "Boy,[/size][size=+0] that was one delicious leopard! I wonder if there are any more around here?"[/size]
[size=+0]Hearing this, the young leopard halts his attack in mid-strike, a look of[/size][size=+0] terror comes over him and he slinks away into the trees.[/size][size=+0] "Whew!", says the leopard. "That was close! That old poodle nearly had me!"[/size]
[size=+0]Meanwhile, a monkey who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby[/size][size=+0] tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for[/size][size=+0] protection from the leopard. [/size]
[size=+0]So off he goes, but the old poodle sees him heading after the leopard with[/size][size=+0] great speed, and figures that something must be up. [/size]
[size=+0]The monkey soon catches up with the leopard, spills the beans and strikes a[/size][size=+0] deal for himself with the leopard. [/size]
[size=+0]The young leopard is furious at being made a fool of and says, "Here,[/size][size=+0] monkey, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that conniving[/size][size=+0] canine![/size]
[size=+0]Now, the old poodle sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back and[/size][size=+0] thinks, "What am I going to do now?" but instead of running, the dog sits[/size]
[size=+0]down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn't seen them yet, and[/size][size=+0] just when they get close enough to hear, the old poodle says. [/size]
[size=+0]"Where's that damn monkey? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another[/size][size=+0] leopard![/size]
[size=+0] Moral of this story....[/size]
[size=+0] Don't mess with old farts... [/size]
[size=+0] Age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill! [/size]
[size=+0] BS and brilliance only come with age and experience.[/size]
