"Your skin is pretty," Rabbit said to Leopard. "But I can make it prettier, just like I did for Guinea-Fowl, adding beautiful white spots to your black spots."
"Oh yes!" said Leopard. "Give me white spots!"
Rabbit took Leopard to a tree. "You must stay absolutely still while I add the spots," he said, tying Leopard to the tree. "Is the rope too tight?"
"Well, it's tight," said Leopard, "but not too tight."
Then Rabbit grabbed a big stick and started hitting Leopard on the head.
When Leopard was dead, Rabbit called his wives, and they ate Leopard for dinner.
Inspired by: "The Hare goes Hunting" in Angass manual, grammar and vocabulary by H. D. Foulkes, 1915.
Notes: You can read the original story online. In the original story, the Leopard wants some of Rabbit's fish; more about the fish here: The Rabbit and the Dancing Fish.
