The Daschund and the Leopard

On the first day of the Dacshund's trip, the Dacshund wandered off too far, got lost in a bush and within minutes, the Dacshund encountered a very hungry looking leopard.

Realizing he was in trouble, but, noticing some fresh bones on the ground, the Dacshund started to chew on them, with his back to the leopard. As the leopard was about to leap, the Dacshund smacked his lips and exclaimed loudly, "Boy, that was one delicious leopard. I wonder if there are any more around here."

The leopard stopped mid-stride, and slinked away into the trees.

"Phew," said the leopard, "that was close - that evil little dog nearly had me."

A monkey nearby saw everything and thought he'd win a favor by setting the leopard straight.

When the leopard heard the monkey's story, he felt angry at being made a fool, and offered the monkey a ride back to see him get revenge.

As the leopard and monkey approached, beads of sweat began to break out on the Dacshund's forehead. Thinking quickly, he once again turned his back and pretended not to notice them. And when the pair got within earshot, the Dacshund said aloud, "Now where's that monkey gone? I sent him ages ago to bring me another leopard..."
