A wealthy old Gentleman decides to go on a hunting safari inAfrica, taking his faithful, elderly Jack Russell named Killer, alongfor the company.
One day the old Jack Russell starts chasing rabbits and beforelong, discovers that he's lost. Wandering about, he notices a leopardheading rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch.
The old Jack Russell thinks, 'Oh, oh! I'm in deep doo-doo now!'Noticing some bones on the ground close by, he immediately settles downto chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as theleopard is about to leap, the old Jack Russell exclaims loudly, 'Boy,that was one delicious leopard! I wonder if there are any more aroundhere.'
Hearing this, the young leopard halts his attack in mid-strike,a look of terror comes over him and he slinks away into the trees.'Whew!'says the leopard, 'That was close! That old Jack Russell nearly hadme!'
Meanwhile, a monkey who had been watching the whole scene from anearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade itfor protection from the leopard. So off he goes, but the old JackRussell sees him heading after the leopard with great speed, and figuresthat something must be up.
The monkey soon catches up with the leopard, spills the beansand strikes a deal for himself with the leopard.
The young 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 thatconniving canine!
Now, the old Jack Russell sees the leopard coming with themonkey on his back and thinks, 'What am I going to do now?', but insteadof running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretendinghe hasn't seen them yet, and just when they get close enough to hear,the old Jack Russell says...
'Where's that monkey? I sent him off an hour ago to bringme another leopard!
