How the Leopard Got His Spots and Other Stories by Rudyard Kipling.

3/5 rating. 61 pages.

Book #32 of 2021. Read April 17, 2021.

This is a collection of 4 short fables by Rudyard.

These stories tell how the leopard got his spots, the whale got his throat, the camel got his hump, and the rhino got his skin. There are some little tidbits of morals in here, but mostly it’s just a testament to us humans liking to tell stories about things we can’t explain.

The whole collection is only 61 pages so this was a very short read. I have to be honest, though, there are a million children’s fables that are more interesting, more entertaining, better written, funnier, or just overall better than these four stories. Go read any of those unless you’re just trying to knock off reading a famous author’s book.
