A wealthy old Gentleman decides to go on a hunting safari in Africa, taking
his faithful, elderly Jack Russell terrier named Killer, along for the
company.

One day the old Jack Russell starts chasing rabbits and before long,
discovers that he’s lost. Wandering about, he notices a leopard heading
rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch.

The old Jack Russell thinks, ‘Oh-oh! I’m in deep doo-doo now!’ Noticing some
bones on the ground close by, he immediately settles down to chew on the
bones with his back to the approaching big cat.

Just as the leopard is about to leap, the old Jack Russell 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, a look of
terror comes over him and he slinks away into the trees.

‘Whew!’, says the leopard, ‘That was close! That old Jack Russell 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. However, the old Jack Russell
sees him heading after the leopard with great speed, and guesses 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 Jack Russell 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 Jack Russell says…

‘Where’s that monkey got to? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me
another leopard!’

And the moral of this story?

Don’t mess with old dogs – Age and Experience will always overcome Youth and
Treachery.
