RIKKI-TIKKI-TAVI (PART 2)
Teddy came running down the path and Rikki-tikki was glad to see him. But when Teddy was going to take Rikki-tikki up, something wriggled in the dust and a thin voice said: "Be careful. I am death!" It was Karait, the grey-brown snake that usually hides in the dusty earth; and he is as dangerous as the cobra. But he is so small that nobody thinks of him and so he does more harm to people.

THE CAT THAT WALKED BY HIMSELF (PART 1)
Hear and attend and listen; because it happened when the tame animals were wild. The Dog was wild, and the Horse was wild, and the Cow was wild, and the Sheep was wild, and the Pig was wild—as wild as wild could be—and they walked in the Wet Wild Woods. But the wildest of all the wild animals was the Cat. He walked by himself, and all places were alike to him.

THE OLD MAN KANGAROO
Not always was the Kangaroo as we see him now, but a different animal with four short legs. He was grey and he was woolly, and he was very proud of himself: he danced on the sand in the middle of Australia, and he went to the Little God Nqa at six o'clock before breakfast, and he said, "Make me different from all other animals by five o'clock this afternoon."

THE ELEPHANT'S CHILD (Part 1)
A long time ago the Elephant had no trunk. He had only a blackish nose, as big as a boot. He could move it from side to side, but he could not pick up things with it. But there was one Elephant—a new Elephant—an Elephant's Child—who was full of curiosity, and that means he asked very many questions. And he lived in Africa, and he filled all Africa with his curiosity.

HOW THE LEOPARD GOT HIS SPOTS
Once upon a time the Leopard lived in a place called the Desert. Remember it was a very bare, hot, yellow Desert, where there was sand and sandy-coloured rock and sandy-yellowish grass. The Giraffe and the Zebra and the Antelope and many other animals lived there; and they were sandy-yellow-brownish all over; but the Leopard was the sandiest-yellowest-brownest of them, all, and the colour of his skin was like the colour of the Desert itself.

Once upon a time, when the world was new and the Animals were just beginning to work for the Man, there was a Camel, and he lived in the middle of a Desert because he did not want to work. He ate sticks and thorns and prickles and nothing more. He was very lazy and idle; and when anybody spoke to him he said "Humph!" Just "Humph!" and no more.
