The story is not new, but the
moral of the story at the bottom is something
interesting....
A butcher watching over his shop is really surprised when he sees a
dog coming inside the shop. He shoos him away. But later, the dog
is back again. So, he goes over to the dog and notices it has a
note in its mouth. He takes the note and it reads "Can I have 12
sausages and a leg of lamb, please". The dog has money in its
mouth, as well. The butcher looks inside and, lo and behold, there
is a ten dollar note there. So he takes the money and puts the
sausages and lamb in a bag, placing it in the dog's mouth.
The butcher is so impressed, and since it's about closing time, he
decides to shut the shop and follow the dog. So off he goes. The
dog is walking down the street, when it comes to a level crossing,
the dog puts down the bag,
jumps up and presses the button. Then it waits patiently, bag in
mouth, for the lights to turn. They do, and it walks across the !
road, with the butcher following him all the way.
The dog then comes to a bus stop, and starts looking at the
timetable. The butcher is in awe as the dog stops a bus by pulling
its left leg up and gets in it. The butcher follows the dog into
the bus. The dog then shows a ticket which is tied to its belt to
the bus conductor. The butcher is nearly fainting at this sight, so
are the other passengers in the bus. The dog then sits near the
driver's seat looking outside waiting for the bus stop to come. As
soon as the stop is in sight, the dog stands and wags its tail to
inform the conductor.
Then, without waiting for the bus to stop completely, it jumps out
of the bus and runs to a house very close to the stop. It opens the
big iron gate and rushes inside towards the door. As it approaches
the wooden door, the dog suddenly changes its mind and heads
towards the garden. It goes to the window, and beats its head
against it several times, walks back, jumps off, and waits at the
door.
The butcher watches as a big guy opens the door, and starts abusing
the dog, kicking him and punching him, and swearing at him.
The butcher surprised with this, runs up, and stops 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 responds: "You call this
clever? This is the second time
this week that this stupid dog's forgotten his key."
Moral of the story .....You may continue to exceed
onlookers' expectations but shall always fall
short of the bosses' expectations.
