Safari

    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, "Boy, I'm in 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 dog exclaims
    loudly, "Man, 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 cat 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 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 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!!"
