Age Prevails
>> Age prevails
>>
>>
>> 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 he's lost.. Wandering about, he notices a
>> leopard heading rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch.
>>
>> The old poodle 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 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!
>>
>> 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 leopard!
>>
>> Moral of this story....
>>
>>
>> Don't mess with old farts. Age and treachery will always overcome
>> youth and skill!
>>
>> Bullsh-t and brilliance only come with age and experience.
