The Leopard And The Poodle

[Axel]

A wealthy old lady decides to go on a photo safari in Africa,

taking her faithful pet poodle along for company. One day the

poodle starts chasing butterflies and before long he discovers

that he is lost.

Wandering about, he notices a leopard heading rapidly in his

direction with the obvious intention of having lunch. The

poodle thinks, "Uh-oh, I'm in deep trouble 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 poodle exclaims

loudly, "Boy, that was one delicious leopard. I wonder if

there are any more around here."

Hearing this, the leopard halts his attack in mid-stride, a

look of terror comes over him, and he slinks away into the

trees.

"Whew," says the leopard. "That was close. That 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 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 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 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 his back to his attackers,

pretending he hasn't seen them yet and, just when they get close enough to

hear, the poodle says.....................

"Where's that ###### monkey? I sent him off half an hour ago to

bring me another leopard!"
