A er some me, the
monkey saw an elephant

coming. “Please, Mister

Elephant,” he called,
“Please, pull me out of the

mud.” But, the elephant

did not even look at
the monkey. He just

walked on.

Soon, there came a
wild goat. The monkey

begged of the goat to

pull him out. “I would
surely have pulled you

out,” replied the goat, begged of : asked for

“But, I’m too small. What can something humbly
peeping : look quickly
I do? But, I tell you, there’s a leopard

coming a er me. Ask him to help you.” The goat then ran away.

Soon, a leopard came through the
forest. “Oh! Mister Leopard,” called the

monkey, “Please, pull me out of here.

You can then eat me if you like.”

The leopard looked back, but
he could not see anyone. He was

wondering where the voice had

come from. He then came nearer
and looked again. And then, he

saw two brown eyes peeping from

the mud. He put out a paw and
pulled the monkey out of the mud.
