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, "Ok crap, I'm in it 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, "Jesus, 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 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 dog sees the leopard coming with the
monkey on his back, and thinks, "What the heck 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 stupid
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!!"
