One day a leopard swims across the sea to SINDI .the leopard is very hungry end he is looking for food. There is a market place in the village. Many people with small children are shopping in the market. Behind him the people are following and throwing stones. He turns and runs along this road. The people follow him. Suddenly he sees a tall building. The door of this building is open. He runs up the stairs-up into the building. The building is the old lighthouse. Then one man looks up at the lighthouse. Look! He says the leopard is in the lighthouse! The people look up. the leopard stays in the lighthouse for three days and nights. He has no food or water but he does not come down the stairs. The head man of SINDI is called Mohammed . Mohammed has a beautiful daughter TANZA. Mohammed thinks. Then he says let the men of SINDI have a competition. The competition is to kill the leopard. The winner can marry TANZA. Many men on SINDI are in love with TANZA. Ahmed has a big house and lots of Animals but he is old and TANZA does not like him. Ahmed has a gun. Ahmed fires the gun. Bang! But the leopard does not fall off the wall. TANZA is very happy. There is a young man called JAMAL . Jamal is big and strong. But he talks a lot and TANZA does not like him. L can kill him with my knife. He brings a goat and some rope to the lighthouse. Now the goat can see the leopard. He pulls and pulls at the rope. The rope breaks and the goat runs away. Jamal is very angry but TANZA is happy. I can shoot the dart into the leopard with the gun. TANZA looks at the young man. He has nice eyes and a kind face. She likes him. Saied holds his gun and fires. Pop! But nothing happens. Ahmed and JAMAL are laughing. Fifteen minutes pass. The leopard is falling. Is the leopard dead? Asks TANZA. No says SAIED. My dart doesn’t kill animals. He is only sleeping. The leopard is beautiful. the leopard is yours, Saied. Saied takes the leopard to the animal park in Nairobi. Later TANZA and SAIED get married.
