The leopard and the sky god

     I read "The leopard and the sky god". This story is about the sky god and the leopard ,his drum and the torrise and many animals. Long ago, when the world was new, the animals lived in the forest. High up above lived the sky god. One day, the sky god heard a wonderful sound. He leaned down and looked through the trees. There was the leopard, and he playing a great big drum. The sky god though want to try it. The sky god asked leopard to try it, but leopard said no. The leopard kept his eye on the drum the whole time, so the sky god did not touch it. Many animals talk to leopard but no one succeed. Everyone though it is too difficult. Suddenly, the tortoise said let me try.Now in those days the tortoise had no shell and everyone laughed. The leopard said the sky god dose not have a drum and he can climb inside it.The leopard rolled the drum along the ground and crawled inside like the sky god. Quickly, she clapped the lid over the end of the drum. Then The tortoise rolled it along to the sky god.The leopard feel was so bad and he said "I don't want it any more." The sky god was happy and present hard shell for the tortoise. The sky god loved his the drum and whather is stormy, you can still hear him.
