Old Dogs Rule

A not-so-old 'Retired Brigadier decides to go on a hunting safari in Gir Forest, taking with him for company his faithful, old Pomeranian named 'Snoopy'.

While roaming around the forest, the old Snoopy starts chasing rabbits and before long, discovers that he's lost. Wandering about, he notices a leopard heading rapidly in his direction, clearly to grab lunch.

Old Snoopy thinks, 'Oh, no! I'm in deep trouble now!' Noticing some bones on the ground close by, he immediately settles down to chewing on the bones with his back to the approaching big cat.

Just as the leopard is about to leap, old Snoopy exclaims loudly, 'Boy, that was one delicious leopard!

I wonder if there are any more around here?'

Hearing this, the young leopard halts his attack in mid-strike, a look of terror comes over him and he shrinks away into the trees. 'Whew!', says the leopard, 'That was close! That old Snoopy 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 old Snoopy 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 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 that conniving canine!

Now, old Snoopy 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, old Snoopy says...

'Where's that damn monkey?

I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another leopard!'
