Stumpy decided to go on a safari in Africa. He took his faithful
pet dog along for company. One day the dog starts chasing
butterflies and before long he discovers that he is lost. So, wan-
dering about he notices a leopard heading rapidly in his direction
with the obvious intention of having lunch.

The dog thinks, "Boyo, I'm in deep trouble now." Then he noticed
some bones on the ground close by, and immediately settles down
to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat.

Just as the leopard is about to leap, the dog exclaims loudly, "
Man, that was one delicious leopard. I wonder if there are any
more around here?"

Hearing this the 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 knowledge 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 cat 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 dog 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 dog says, "Where's that monkey? I just can
never trust him. I sent him off half an hour ago to bring me another
leopard, and he's still not back!"
