There's a moral here

[Fay Dickson-- AKA doofs]

Brilliance

 

An old Doberman starts chasing rabbits and before long, discovers that he's lost. 
Wandering about, he notices a panther heading rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch.

 

The old Dobermann thinks, "Oh, oh! 
I'm in deep trouble 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 Dobermann 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 Dobermann

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 Dobermann 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 Dobermann 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! 
Brilliance can only come with age and experience....
