>One day the poodle starts chasing butterflies and before long, Cuddles

>The old poodle thinks, "Oh, oh! I'm in deep shit now!" Noticing some bones
on

old 
>poodle exclaims loudly, "Boy, that was one delicious leopard! I wonder if

>Hearing this, the young leopard halts his attack in mid-strike, 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 damn monkey? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another

>Moral of this story....

>Don't mess with old farts...age and treachery will always overcome youth and
