'Oh! What's this!' thought the boy. A leopard escaped from the zoo and you could get a lot of money if you caught it.
"Oh! I'll catch it but I've got to do it at night so no one finds out "said the boy. That night I went to catch the leopard .Then suddenly some wolves jumped out of the bushes and tried to attack me. The leopard came out of the bushes and chased them away." I went home straight away and the leopard followed me". When I got home he went back to the jungle. "After that I didn't take him back to the zoo instead I let him go".
