4-A Dog's Life
A butcher watching over his shop was really surprised when he saw a dog
coming inside the shop. He shooed him away. But later, the dog was back
again. So, he went over to the dog and noticed that it had a note in its
mouth. He took the note which read "Can I have 12 sausages and a leg of
lamb, please? The dog has money in its mouth, as well."
The butcher looked inside and, lo and behold, there was a ten dollar note
there. So he took the money and put the sausages and lamb in a bag, placed
it in the dog's mouth. The butcher was so impressed, and since it was about
closing time, he decided to shut the shop and follow the dog.
So off he went. The dog was walking down the street, when it came to a level
crossing; the dog put down the bag, jumped up and pressed the button. Then
he waited patiently, bag in mouth, for the lights to turn. They did, and he
walked across the road, with the butcher following him all the way.
The dog then came to a bus stop, and started looking at the timetable. The
butcher was in awe as the dog stopped a bus by pulling his left leg up and
got in it. The butcher followed the dog into the bus. The dog then showed a
ticket which was tied to his belt to the bus conductor. The butcher was
nearly fainting at this sight, so were the other passengers in the bus. The
dog then sat near the driver's seat looking outside. As soon as the stop was
in sight, the dog stood and wagged his tail to inform the conductor. Then,
without waiting for the bus to stop completely, he jumped out of the bus and
ran to a house very close to the stop.
He opened the big iron gate and rushed inside towards the door. As he
approached the wooden door, the dog suddenly changed his mind and headed
towards the garden. He went to the window, and beat his head against it
several times, walked back, jumped off, and waited at the door. The butcher
watched as a big guy opened the door, and started abusing the dog, kicking
him and punching him, and swearing at him. The butcher surprised with this,
ran up, and stopped the guy.
"What in heaven's name are you doing? The dog is a genius. He could be on
TV, for the life of me! "To which the guy responded - "You call this dog
clever? This is the second time this week that this stupid dog has forgotten
his key."
Moral of the story.....
You may continue to exceed onlookers expectations but shall always fall
short of the boss' expectations. It's a dog's life after all..... |
