The Donkey in the Leopard Skin A long long time ago, there was a tricky person who had a donkey, but no hay to feed it. One day, the tricky person found an entire leopard skin and he put it on the donkey's back. He lead the donkey to another person's farm land. The other farmer saw the donkey wearing the leopard skin and thought it was a real leopard, so he was scared and he didn't bother it. A few days later, the donkey had eaten most of the farmer's crops. The farmer thought this was very strange, since leopards don't eat plants! He decided to kill the leopard, but when he went to kill it, he discovered that it was just the tricky person's donkey! Since that time, this story has spread far and wide. That is to say, everyone knows to kill a leopard that comes into their yard, because it's probably a donkey! ___________ See the originals, written in Chinese and Tibetan by Deng Zhi Zhi Ma and Zhuo Ma (Junior grade 3, class 1) Translated into English by Billie Karel and Liu Hai Bo (Junior grade 3, class 2) |
