The Moral of the Story about the Dog in the Jungle

A series of unfortunate events added up to the "oh shit" moment when a dog finds himself lost in the middle of the jungle, where a bloodthirsty leopard eyeballs him for a tasty scooby snack.

Just then, the dog I-spies a pile of bones. He plops down for a chew and says, "Jesus that was one delicious leopard. I wonder if there are any more around here?"

The leopard stops in his tracks, spins around and tip-toes into the bushes. "Ratcrap that was a close one. That dog almost got me!"

Meanwhile, a monkey has taken in the whole scene. The monkey knows how to work the system, so he trots off after the leopard.

The monkey spills the beans and the leopard is pissed. The leopard says, "Monkey, hop on my back and check what's going to happen to that scheming dog."

The dog saw the monkey slink off so he's wise to the trouble afoot. He frets, knowing his two attackers are approaching from behind.

Just when they get close enough to hear, the dog says, "Where's that damn monkey? You just can't trust him. I sent him out half an hour ago to bring me another leopard!"

I love any story that has a monkey.

I think I'll do up this brilliant fable in a dainty cross-stitch -- word for word as you tell it here -- and hang it up on our bathroom wall, for morning meditations. (It's a jungle out there. Best be a dog.)
