Dog
in Safari
 
A
wealthy man decided to go on a safari in Africa. He took
his faithful pet dog along for company.
One
day the dog starts chasing butterflies and before long
he discovers that he is lost. So, wandering about he
notices a leopard heading rapidly in his direction with
the obvious intention of having lunch.
The
dog thinks, "Boy, I'm in deep doo doo now."
Then
he noticed some bones on the ground close by, and
immediately settles down to chew on the bones with
his back to the approaching cat.
Just
as the leopard is about to leap, the dog exclaims
loudly, "Man, that was one delicious leopard.
I wonder if there are any more around here?"
Hearing
this the leopard halts his attack in mid stride,
as a look of terror comes over him, and slinks
away into the trees. "Whew", says
the leopard. "That was close. That dog
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 dog saw him heading after the leopard
with great speed, and figured 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
cat 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 dog 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 dog says, "Where's
that monkey. I just can never
trust him. I sent him off half
an hour ago to bring me another
leopard, and he's still not back!!"
