faithful aged poodle named Cuddles

[Oxford]

A wealthy old lady decides to go on a photo safari in Africa,
taking her faithful aged poodle named Cuddles, along for the
company.

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 **** 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, and 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 **** monkey? I sent
him off an hour ago to bring me another leopard!

Moral of this story...Don't mess with old farts...age
and treachery will always overcome youth and skill!
Bull**** and brilliance only come with age and experience.
