A wealthy man decided to go on a safari in Africa. He took his faithful
pet Dachshund dog along for company. One day, the dachshund starts
chasing butterflies and before long the dachshund discovers that he is
lost.Wandering about, he notices a leopard heading rapidly in his
direction with the obvious intention of having lunch. The dachshund
thinks, "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, as a look of
terror comes over him, and 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."
Life consists not in holding good cards, but in playing those you hold
well..............................
