![]() ![]() They finally realized that both the animals just walked off into the forest and hid and the shadowy forest protected them. As if there was no one, not even a sight of the Zebra and the Giraffe. The Zebra said, “Let us up, and we’ll show you.” They followed the Zebra and the Giraffe to some little thorn-bushes where the sunlight fell all stripy, and the Giraffe moved off to some trees where the shadows fell all blotchy.Īll the Leopard and the Ethiopian could see were some stripy shadows and blotched shadows in the forest. And asks, “What in the world have you been doing to yourself, Zebra?” The Leopard expressed its frustration of finding it hard to locate the animals so far. The Leopard met the same problem, as the animal that was ought to be a Zebra was covered all over with black and purple stripes. The Ethiopian was surprised because it was supposed to be a Giraffe, but the creature was covered all over with chestnut blotches. In the morning they looked at what they caught and were confused with their senses. The man too caught something and said it smells like a Giraffe and sat on its head till the morning. At night, the Leopard heard something and so jumped on it. They were fed up and decided to wait till it gets dark. A sudden confusion occurs in the Ethiopian’s mind as he says whether they might have forgotten what their preys look like since it’s been so long since they hunted. He can smell the Zebra, and can hear the Zebra, but cannot locate the Zebra. The Leopard is very confused as he says, “that is so seclusively dark, and yet so full of little pieces of light?” To which the Ethiopian replies that he can smell and hear the Giraffe but cannot see the Giraffe. They saw a great, high, tall forest full of tree trunks all ‘seclusively speckled and sprottled and spottled, dotted and splashed and slashed and hatched and cross-hatched with shadow.’ It was the very shadowy forest they came across. The Leopard and the Ethiopian to fill their stomachs set off to look for their breakfast. The animals decided on a change and that they should also be subject to and accept the change. The reply came, “The game has gone into other spots and my advice to you Leopard, is to go into other sports as soon as you can.” The Leopard asked, “Where has all the game gone?” They were so hungry that they ate beetles and rats.Īt last, they went to see the Baboon, the wisest animal everyone knew of. On the other side, the Leopard and the Ethiopian were in search of the animals and wondered what happened and where all their breakfasts and dinners ran off to. And one could smell them, hear them, but hardly could locate them or see them at all. After a long time of hiding, the Giraffe grew blotchy, the Zebra grew stripy, and the Eland and the Koodoo grew darker. Finally, they found a great forest, ‘seclusively full of trees and bushes and stripy, speckly, patchy-blotchy shadow, and there they hid. So but by bit the Giraffe began it, as his legs were the longest. The animals scuttled off to a place that can provide them protection. Getting used to the ever so circumstantial disastrous episodes, the animals learned to avoid anything that resembled a Leopard or an Ethiopian.
