I read The Jakle and the Leaperd. It was about a Leaperd who wanted a cow so she took a calf from the Jackle. so everyone was afraid of her so they wanted her to get it or shell be angrey with them. But Baboon and Jackle were not afraid of her. The leson was never lie. I liked it because they made Leaperd go away.
