An old Doberman starts chasing rabbits and before long, discovers that he's lost.
Wandering about, he notices a lion heading rapidly in his direction with the intention of
having lunch. The old Doberman thinks, "Oh, oh! I'm in deep s h i t 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 lion is about to leap, the old Doberman
exclaims loudly, "Boy, that was one delicious lion! I wonder if there are any more around
here?” Hearing this, the young lion halts his attack in mid-stride, a look of terror comes
over him and he slinks away into the trees. "Whew!" says the lion, "That was close! That
old Doberman 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 lion.
So, off he goes. The squirrel soon catches up with the lion, spills the beans and strikes a
deal for himself with the lion. The young lion 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 Doberman sees the lion 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 Doberman says........ "Where's that squirrel? I sent him off an hour ago
to bring me another lion!”
Moral of this story...
Don't mess with the old dogs... Age and skill will always overcome youth and treachery!
