The Dachshund and the Leopard
A wealthy old lady decided to go on a photo safari in Africa. She took
her faithful pet dachshund along for company. One day, the dachshund starts
chasing butterflies and before long the dachshund 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 dachshund thinks, "OK, I'm in deep trouble 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 dachshund 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 dachshund 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 dachshund 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 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 dachshund 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 dachshund says....
"Where's that damn monkey? I sent him off half an hour ago to bring me
another leopard!"
