FW: Old Dogs
German
Shepherd starts chasing rabbits and before long, discovers that he's lost.
Wandering about, he notices a panther heading rapidly in his direction with the
intention of having lunch.
The old
German Shepherd thinks, "Oh, oh! I'm in deep shit now!"
Noticing
some bones on the ground close by, he immediately settles down to chew on the
bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the panther is about to
leap, the old German Shepherd exclaims loudly,
"Boy,
that was one delicious panther! I wonder if there are any more around
here?"
Hearing
this, the young panther halts his attack in mid-strike, a look of terror comes
over him and he slinks away into the trees.
"Whew!"
says the panther, "That was close! That old German Shepherd nearly had
me!"
Meanwhile,
a squirrel 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
panther. So, off he goes.
The
squirrel soon catches up with the panther, spills the beans and strikes a deal
for himself with the panther.
The young
panther is furious at being made a fool of and says, "Here, squirrel, hop
on my back and see what's going to happen to that conniving canine!"
Now, the
old German Shepherd sees the panther coming with the squirrel 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 German Shepherd says...
This
made me smile!
"Where's
that squirrel? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another panther!"
Moral of
this story...
Don't
mess with the old dogs. Age and skill will always overcome youth and
treachery! Bullshit and brilliance only
come with age and experience.
