How Many Spots Does a Leopard Have and Other Tales

Story Summary

Leopard is so vain about his spots that he decides to count them. He can't count,so he offers a magnificent prize to the animal that can count his spots. Each animal tries, but Weasel can only count to four, and Elephant to ten and so on until Rabbit notices that some spots are dark and some are light. His conclusion is that Leopard has only two spots, dark ones and light ones.
