They sometimes hunted together and shared the food equally between them.</p> <p>One day, the leopard was out alone, hunting for food, when the enticing smell of fresh fish came into its nostrils. The hungry beast followed the smell and found that it was coming of off a cart being pulled by a tough looking man. It was a fisherman hauling home a good day’s catch.</p> <p>“It would not be wise for me to attack a man,” the leopard thought. “He has all sorts of weapons that can hurt me. I&rsquo;m going to have to be clever about getting some of his fish.”</p>
