The Antelope and The Leopard

Leopard hunting an antelope

There are many stories that contain a character that feels as though they always have to prove themselves. The leopard in this case believes he is more cunning and can outsmart the antelope. The leopard believes that since he is a leopard he is automatically better. We also learn that bullying can cause drastic measures later on. The leopard wanted revenge for everything the antelope did to him.

I took away from this story that not everyone keeps their word. From the beginning of the story, the spider told his friends what he wanted as well as what he wanted from them. They agreed to helping the spider win the daughter by collecting the fire from the heavens. Their own selfish needs overpowered their word to the spider. I think this is extremely prevalent today as well.
