Practice doing lots of counting with the animals as they solve the mystery of the naughty thief! ""The Story of the Leopard's Spots"" is a folktale from Ghana, a country in Africa.

They believe that there was a time when leopards had no spots. Instead, their fur was many shades of gold and amber that shone gold in the sunbeams that shine between the jungle trees.
