Reading Notes: West Africa, Part B

I really enjoyed the story of the Ram and the Leopard. The story is pretty funny, honestly, with the two creatures building the same home without the other knowing. And the premise of the ram slipping and scaring off the leopard is pretty entertaining as well. Though if I were to retell this, I'm not sure how to go about doing it. I could change the animals, like make it a wolf and a donkey or something.

I also could retell the story of the Ungrateful Man, but changing the setting and characters into a corporate setting. I'd change each animal into a person of various positions in a company or something like that. The ungrateful man could be like an intern or something. That could be funny.
