A lawyer decided to go on a safari in Africa and takes his faithful Dog along for company. First day out, Dog starts chasing butterflies and before long he discovers that he is lost. Wandering about he notices a leopard heading rapidly in his direction with the obvious intent of having lunch.

Dog thinks, "Oh Oh, I'm in deep crap now. I Wonder what my master would do?" Then notices some bones laying on the ground close by, and immediately settles down to chew on the bones and ignoreing the approaching cat.

Just as the leopard is about to leap, dog exclaims loudly,
"Man, that was one delicious leopard. I wonder is there
are any more around here?" Hearing this leopard halts his attack in mid stride, as a look of terror comes over him, and slinks away into the trees. "Whew", says the leopard. That was close. That dog nearly had me."

Meanwhile, a monkey who had been watching the whole
scene from a nearby tree, figures he can put this trick to good use and trade it for protection from the leopard. So, off he goes. But the dog saw him heading after the leopard with great speed, and figured 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 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."

Dog sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back, and thinks, "Hmmmm--Wonder what my master would do NOW?"

So instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to
his attackers pretending he hasn't seen them yet. Just as
they get close enough to hear, the dog says,

"Where's that damnable monkey! I sent him off half an hour ago to bring me another leopard, and he's still not back!!"
