ONE FREAKING SMART POODLE.

A wealthy old lady decides to go on a photo safari in Africa, taking her faithful, aged poodle named
Cuddles along for the company. One day the poodle starts chasing butterflies and before long
Cuddles discovers that she's lost. Wandering about, she notices a leopard heading rapidly in her
direction with the intention of having lunch. The old poodle thinks, "Oh, oh! I'm in trouble now!"

Noticing some bones on the ground close by, she immediately settles down to chew on the bones
with her back to the approaching cat. Just as the leopard is about to leap, the old poodle 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 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!"

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 her back to her attackers, pretending
she hasn't seen them yet, and just when they get close enough to hear, the old poodle says:
"Where's that monkey? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another leopard!"
