A wealthy man decided to go on a safari in Africa.
He took his faithful
pet Dachshund dog along for company.

One day, the Dachshund starts chasing butterflies
and before long the Dachshund discovers that he
is lost. Wandering about, he notices a

having lunch.

leopard heading rapidly in his direction
with the obvious intention of
having lunch.
The Dachshund thinks, "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 Dachshund exclaims
loudly, Boy, that was one delicious leopard.
I wonder if there are any more around here."

Hearing this, the leopard halts his attack in
-stride, as a look of terror comes over him,
and slinks away into the trees. "Whew," says
the leopard.
"That was close. That Dachshund! 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 Dachshund
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 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 Dachshund sees the leopard coming with
the monkey on his back and thinks What am I
going to do now?" But instead of running, 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 Dachshund
says,

Where's that damn monkey? I sent him off half
an hour ago to bring me another leopard."
