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