Captain Holland 0 Posted October 13, 2003 I have a funny story. It's not mine though. OK, A wealthy man decided to go on a safari in Africa. He took his faithful pet dachshund 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 leopard heading rapidly in his direction with the obvious intention of having lunch. The dachshund thinks "OK, I'm in deep trouble now!" Then he noticed 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 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 mid stride, as a look of terror comes over him. He sinks away into the trees. "Whew," says the leopard, " That was close. That dachshund nearly had me." Meanwhile, a monkey who wad 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. The dachshund saw the monkey heading after the leopard at great speed, and figured 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 beeing made to appear a fool. He said, "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 wonders, "What am I going to do now?" Instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasen't seen them yet. Just when they get close enough to hear, the dachshund says, "Where's that stupid monkey? I sent him off half an hour ago to bring me another leopard." :) :) B) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Riaan 0 Posted October 27, 2003 That's funny! I always knew Dachshunds are smart! (Did you know that in Germany they are not called Dachshunds--they're called Dackel. Just a bit of cultural trivia I learned from my German friend StarDreamer. :angry: ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
