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, low and behold, there is a $10 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.
