A wealthy old Gentleman decides to go on a hunting safari in Africa ,
taking his faithful, elderly Rat Terrier named Killer, along for the
company.
One day the old Rat Terrier starts chasing rabbits 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 Rat Terrier thinks, 'Oh, oh! I'm in deep doo-doo 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 Rat Terrier 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 away into the trees. 'Whew!',
says the leopard, 'That was close! That old Rat Terrier 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 Rat Terrier
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 Rat Terrier 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 old Rat Terrier says...
'Where's that pottymouth monkey? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me
another leopard !
Moral of this story...
Don't mess with the old dogs... age and skill will always overcome youth
and treachery! BS and brilliance only come with age and experience.
