BR 2-11: The Leopard and the Sky God

This story is about the Sky God, the leopard, his drum, the python, the elephant and the tortoise.  Long ago, the animals lived in the forest.  High up above lived the Sky God.  One day, the Sky God heard a wonderful sound.  There was the leopard, playing a great big drum.  The Sky God wanted to try the leopard’s drum.  The Sky God asked leopard to try it.  However, the answer to the leopard was No.  Next, the python and the elephant asked the leopard to lend it.  The answer to the leopard was No.  The tortoise asked the leopard to lend it.  The tortoise was able to take it to the Sky God.  At last, the Sky God was able to touch the leopard’s drum.  What did the tortoise say to the leopard? 

I borrowed this book because this book seemed to be interesting for me.  I thought the leopard is stubborn.  I thought the animals are very kind.  I was surprised at the tortoise.  I was thinking that the tortoise is declined by the leopard, too.
