Smart Lost Dog
Due to his owner’s negligence, a dog became lost in the deepest jungles of Africa. Wandering around, the poor dog notices a leopard heading rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch.
Just then, the dog noticed some bones laying on the ground close by. The dog immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching leopard. Just as the jungle cat is about to leap, the dog loudly says, “My, that was one delicious leopard! I wonder if there are any more around here?”
Hearing this, the leopard slinks away. “That was too close,” thought the leopard, “that dog nearly had me.”
Meanwhile, a mischevious monkey had observed the entire scene, and decided to cause trouble for the dog, while getting on the good side of the leopard as well. The monkey dashed off after the leopard, to tell him what truly happened.
The dog saw the monkey dash off, and suspiciously tailed him from behind. He overhears the monkey spilling the beans, and quickly decides on a course of action, racing back to the pile of bones.
At the same time, the leopard has decided to take care of the dog once and for all. The monkey hops on the leopard’s back, to watch the demise of the doomed dog. As the leopard approaches, he can hear the dog talking to himself: “Where’s that lazy monkey? I sent him off half an hour ago for another leopard, and he’s still not back!”

I wish you would just learn the wit displayed in many authors’ writings (like Voltaire, a very clever deist) rather than praying to a god for such silly things…

I say Amen to that prayer by Cidus

I think everyone missed the point. The Leopard was the poor innocent who had his lunch stolen by the idiocy of the monkey. Stupid monkey !

I pray God to provide us the wit to use such intelligence when we are faced with difficult situations.
