his faithful, elderly Jack Russell named Killer, along for the company.
One day the old Jack Russell 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 Jack Russell 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 Jack Russell 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 Jack Russell 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 Jack Russell 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 Jack Russell 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 Jack Russell says...
'Where's that damn 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.
