Leopard, Ram, and Jackal

One day, Leopard went out hunting. He came upon Ram's house. Leopard was a great hunter, but he had never seen Ram in his life.

Leopard was a little afraid of him. He went to Ram and said meekly, " Good day, friend. Who might you be?" " I am Ram, " said Ram in a gruff voice. “ Who are you?"

" I am only Leopard, " said Leopard softly. Leopard was so scared, he ran straight home. As soon as Leopard got home, he went to Jackal. Jackal's house was close by.

" I had such a fright! " panted Leopard. " I saw such a fierce fellow! He had a large head, terrible horns, and a rough voice! He said his name was Ram. "

" How foolish you are! " Jackal laughed. " Ram cannot hurt a flea, and his meat is juicy and sweet. I thought you were a hunter. Tomorrow we shall go and eat him. "
