After several hours some monkeys passed the leopard. "Monkeys," said the leopard, "please untie me." "Not us," replied the monkeys, "we are too frightened of you." ... "Oh, Monkey," cried the leopard, "please untie me. I have been here for a long time." The old mother monkey came back. "very well," she said to the leopard, "although I fear you, I will untie you." The monkey freed the leopard, but she was not free from him.]]> 2016-08-17 17:30:13 UTC https://padlet.com/Jecan/folk1/wish/118626254 Bethany McDaniel bethanymc1 https://padlet.com/Jecan/folk1/wish/118626256 “As soon as his wife had gone into the woods to pray, the tortoise left the mat on which he had been lying, and by another path went to the place where he knew his wife would pray. He hid himself in a hole and waited for his wife to come. When she arrived, the tortoise heard her ask how she could cure her husband’s illness.”

It had been eaten by the leopard. The tortoise feared the leopard, so she did not say anything about the cake. Instead, she said, " I thank you, leopard, for giving me shelter. Now, if you will do what I say, I will make a magic powder for you. The magic powder will make you successful whenever you go hunting."
The foolish leopard was very pleased and he agreed to do what the tortoise said.

"The leopard cried for help as a group of monkeys passed by, but because of their fear of him, they ran away. When a mother monkey came by, he asked her for help.
