Poodle
Wisdom
A wealthy old lady decides to go on a
photo safari in
One day the poodle starts chasing
butterflies! and before long, Cuddles discovers that
he's lost.. Wandering about, he notices a leopard heading rapidly in his
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, 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 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 away 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 his back to his attackers, pretending he 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....

mess with old farts...age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill!
Bull--- and brilliance only come with age and
