字號:

Long, long ago, everything about the leopard was tan, don't have any spots. Right now, we see a leopard, cheetah, clouded leopard leopard have black spots, is this why?
    Originally, the leopard is the earliest time to live in a great plains. , almost all the prairie is tan: sandy is tan, rock is tan, weeds are tan, not even a giraffe, zebra, antelope those living in the grasslands of the animals body also is tan. And grassland, however, the most similar color, but also the number of leopards. A leopard color and the color of the prairie is the same, so, when the leopard in front of you, if you don't watch carefully, may simply not found. But, a leopard this color for these animals giraffes, zebras and antelope is really too bad, because, the most like to eat these animals leopard. It always quietly hide in tan big rocks or grass edge, when the animals from passing, it suddenly jump out and eat them. So, grassland animals are very afraid of the leopard.
    In the grasslands, but lived a hunter, the hunter's body is brown, and his body color and the color of the prairie is almost exactly the same! The hunter, like a leopard, also often want to capture the giraffes, zebras and antelope. He is just with bows and arrows, and the leopard with claws and teeth.
    In the grasslands, almost every day have an animal to be a leopard or hunters, watching the animals less and less. The giraffe, antelope, zebra, and other animals are very anxious, because, who also don't know who will be the next be eaten. So giraffe summoned the animals for a meeting, discuss how to deal with the hunter and leopards. Animals from discussion in the morning to the afternoon, and from the discussion in the afternoon and evening, discussed the whole day and night, also didn't come up with a good solution. Finally, they decided to leave the grassland, together with all the animals from the leopard and the hunter far, go to a place they have never been to. Because the giraffe's longest legs, so, the animals chosen giraffe as guide, lead them out of the prairie.
    Under the guidance of the giraffe, the animals could, ran forward to vastly. Who also don't know where to go, they are constantly run, run, run, run, run for three days and three nights, they saw a big forest.
    The forest is very large, and trees, so the inside black, opaque.
    "Hi, friends, let's stay here, you see?" A giraffe asked you later.
    Zebra ran to the forest and have a look, hurriedly say: "oh my god, it's too dark, what all can't see! That's terrible!"
    Antelope ran in looked, said: "is a bit black, but, we're not going to find a safe place? So dark inside, the leopard and the hunter could not find us."
    "How do you think? The giraffe and you advice.
    Attached to run for three days and three nights, the animals are already very tired, and their thoughts and antelope, also feel the great forests so black, hunters and leopards are hard to find them. So, they have lived in this forest.
    No threat of the hunter and leopards, the animals live a carefree life here, very happy day. But they also did not dare to come out of the forest, for fear of the hunter and leopards chase. Although most of the areas are dark in the forest, but sun occasionally gap shone through the leaves. In some places can according to the sun in the forest, in some places as less than the sun, so on some of the animals on the place will often be the sun that some places are always less than the sun. After a period of time, the giraffe brown skin and long out of the chunks of spots; The beige skin also appeared a series of stripe; Antelope also becomes gray, there are some crooked back of grey absolute, looks like a piece of bark. Their body color and the color of the forest is very like. So, even if other people can hear their voice, smell the smell of them, it is hard to find them.
    When the leopard and the hunter found all the animals were gone, they are very angry. Then, they keep looking on the prairie, vowed to get these animals back, otherwise, they don't eat anything. Of course, in the end they have to catch some mice ah, beetles, or something to eat. Because, in didn't find the giraffe before them, they have't stand the hungry.
    One day, just as the leopard and the hunter tummy grumbles, they met with a gorilla, the gorilla is the cleverest animal in the forest.
    "Hey, gorilla! Do you know the animals ran to the grasslands where go to?" The leopard asked.
    Although gorilla know those animals ran out into the forest, however, it finds the leopard too polite, so it is not responding to it.
    At this moment, the hunter and gorillas greeting: "hello, Mr Gorilla! Can you tell me the prairie animal ran to where go to?"
    Gorillas, however, want to put the shelves, so still blinked, ignore the hunter.
    So, the hunter had to ask again: "dear Mr Gorilla, trouble you can tell me the forest the animals all ran to where go to? Thank you!"
    Now gorilla to lazily opened the mouth, it said: "all those animals ran to another place, anyway, you also can not find, I beseech you, do not waste time."
    "Words are say so, but, since they had gone, we do not not sweet every day, because less so a group of good partners, we feel very lonely." The hunter said in her cheek.
    "Oh, come on! I don't know your thoughts. To tell you the truth, they don't run into a large forest, even if you find the forest, also can not find them." The gorilla said.
    "Why?" The leopard feel very strange.
    "Because of their living environment has changed, so their appearance has changed, perhaps the giraffe giraffe become no longer like before, zebra zebra also become no longer like before." The gorilla said.
    "Oh? I have so return a responsibility? We'd like to see what they are now became." The hunter is very interested in.
    "If you want to see them now, unless you first change yourself now." The gorilla said. "Well, thank you Mr Gorilla!" The hunter said happily. Then, he walked on and leopards, they know to go to the forest this time.
    In this way, they kept to find ah find ah, find a lot of days, a lot of walking, finally came to the beside a big forest.
    "Yi? What is this place, inside black goodness, but some of the light." Said the leopard.
    "Yes, this place is very strange! Will forest is the big gorilla said? I smelled a smell of giraffe, also can hear the sounds of it, but I can't find it!" The hunter said.
    "Yes, yes, I also smelled the smell of the zebra, heard the sound, can't see where it is! I think this may be because of we had just come from the light." Said the leopard.
    "Ooops! I think it's because we have not seen them for a long time, so they all like to forget. Even see also don't know." The hunter said.
    "Nonsense!" Leopard roars way, "but I clearly remember their appearance: giraffes have more than five meters high, from head to toe is dark brown, zebra, body is light brown!"
    "Oh! Sorry! That said, in the black forest of goodness, giraffe they should look like a ripe banana." The hunter said.
    But, as said the gorilla, the animals are not that look before. So, although the leopard and the hunter in the forest around a day, zebra, giraffe and antelope everywhere, but they didn't find anything. Although they can hear their voices, can smell the scent from them, but they did not even find their shadow.
    To lunch at the time, the leopard has been hungry grumbles, it is gas and urgently to the hunter said: "for god's points, let's take a break, I'm exhausted. Broad daylight, let's actually even catch no an antelope or a zebra, that if let others know is sure to laugh at us for a lifetime. We'd like to say again after dark."
    Then, they sitting around in the forest, waiting for the dark. Is very not easy finally dark, at this time, the leopard heard the breathing, the voice is from behind it! The leopard thrusts a turn, ran toward the voice of place. It smells like a zebra, however, feels like a zebra, kick look like zebra, but is can't see it. Leopards on its head, and said: "no talking, you are such a strange guy! I want to sit on your head until the morning, I want to see you really look like? What is the monster?"
    After a while, the leopard heard the hunter aside shouted, "I caught an invisible stuff! It smells of a giraffe, but the appearance of the kick and giraffe very much like, however, is to see it would look like!"
    "If you don't know what is it, that you sit on its head, has been sitting in the morning, I'll see what they!" Said the leopard.
    In this way, the leopard and the hunter has been sitting in the morning.
    Leopards hunter asked: "hey, you what is sitting there?"
    The hunter scratched his head and said: "should be a giraffe, but it was filled with spots, visible, it is not a giraffe. Brothers, you sit under what is it?"
    The leopard also scratch scratch my head and said, "should be a zebra, but, it was full of stripes. You're honest metasomatism, zebra! Why are you turned out to be like this?"
    "That you first let us up, we'll tell you what it is." Said the zebra.
    So, hunter and leopards have offspring of a zebra and a giraffe. Zebras and giraffes run to the bottom of the tree, I saw them in some places the sun, in some places have not been to the.
    "Do you see? It's as simple as that. Ok, we have work, walked first. You go to other places to find food!" Offspring of a zebra and a giraffe say that finish turned and disappeared.
    Leopards and hunter zheng big eyes looking for offspring of a zebra and a giraffe, but they are only one to see the sun shining into the forest, a little, can't find their figure.
    "Hey! We are cheated! However, we should indeed listen to gorillas, we have to change our skin color. Otherwise, the animals can see us, and we can't see them, so that we don't want to catch them." The hunter said.
    "To change the color of skin? You didn't make a mistake? What are you going to make the color of the skin to look like?" The leopard was surprised to ask hunter.
    "I want to become dark brown, zebras and giraffes so they can't see me." The hunter said.
    "Where should I go? What colour my skin to become?" The leopard asked.
    "You'd better get some stripes or spots, and giraffe or and zebras look like so a few." The hunter said.
    "I just don't want to and zebras! It longer is ugly." Said the leopard.
    "Then you can get spots, they appear more handsome!" The hunter said.
    "Alas...... that is all right! You help me with some spots. However, you can never make spots is too big, it seems too tacky, I do not want to grow and giraffes like!"
    "No problem, I use my fingers for you some spots." The hunter said.
    So the hunter put all of your body with black color, and then, the five fingers together, their unwanted black color point on the leopard. So, we will find a leopard spots are now five heap, five of the heap. At the hunter for the leopard spots, sometimes fingers sliding, so, a leopard spots are a little fuzzy.
    When a leopard has spots, it lives in the forest down, because it can make use of the advantage of their body colors to catch animals.
    很久很久以前,豹子渾身上下都是黃褐色的,根本沒有什么斑點??墒?,現在我們看到的金錢豹、獵豹、云豹等豹子身上都有黑黑的斑點,這是為什么呢?
    原來,豹子最早的時候生活在一個大草原上。一眼望去,那個草原上幾乎全都是黃褐色的:沙土是黃褐色的,巖石是黃褐色的,野草是黃褐色的,就連長頸鹿、斑馬、羚羊等這些生活在草原上的動物們渾身上下也都是黃褐色的。但是,和草原顏色最相近的,還要數豹子。豹子身上的顏色和草原的顏色簡直是一模一樣,所以,當豹子在你面前的時候,如果你不仔細看,可能根本就不會發(fā)現。但是,豹子身上的這種顏色對于長頸鹿、斑馬和羚羊這些動物們來說真是太糟糕了,因為,豹子最喜歡吃這些動物了。它總是要悄悄地躲在黃褐色的大巖石或者草叢邊,當那些動物們從它身邊經過的時候,它就猛地撲出去,把它們吃掉。所以,草原上的動物非常怕豹子。
    在這個草原上,還住著一個獵人,這個獵人渾身上下也是黃褐色的,而且,他身上的顏色和草原的顏色幾乎也是一模一樣的!這個獵人也像豹子一樣,經常要捕捉長頸鹿、斑馬和羚羊。只不過他是用弓箭,而豹子是用爪子和牙齒。
    在這個草原上,幾乎每天都有一只動物要被豹子或者獵人捕殺,眼看著動物越來越少了。長頸鹿、羚羊、斑馬和其它動物們都非常著急,因為,誰也不知道下次被吃掉的會是誰。于是,長頸鹿召集動物們開了一次大會,商量怎么對付獵人和豹子。動物們從早上討論到下午,又從下午討論到晚上,整整討論了一天一夜,也沒有想出一個好辦法。最后,它們決定所有的動物一起離開這個草原,離豹子和獵人遠遠的,去一個他們從來沒有去過的地方。因為長頸鹿的腿最長,所以,動物們推選長頸鹿作為領路人,帶領它們離開草原。
    在長頸鹿的帶領下,動物們扶老攜幼,浩浩蕩蕩地向前跑去。誰也不知道要去哪里,它們就是不停地跑呀跑,跑呀跑,整整跑了三天三夜,它們看見了一片大森林。
    這個森林非常大,而且樹木茂盛,所以里面黑乎乎的,伸手不見五指。
    “嗨!伙伴們,咱們就在這里住下了,你們看怎么樣?”長頸鹿回頭問大家。
    斑馬跑到森林里看了一看,趕緊出來說:“天啊,里面太黑了,什么東西都看不見!太可怕了!”
    羚羊也跑進去看了看,說:“是有點黑,可是,我們不是要找一個安全的地方嗎?里面這么黑,豹子和獵人就找不到我們了?!?BR>    “大家覺得怎么樣?”長頸鹿又征求大家的意見。
    連著跑了三天三夜,動物們都已經很累了,而且,它們的想法和羚羊一樣,也覺得這個大森林這么黑,獵人和豹子很難找到它們。于是,它們就在這個大森林里住了下來。
    沒有了獵人和豹子的威脅,動物們在這里過著無憂無慮的生活,日子非常快樂??墒撬鼈円膊桓覐纳掷锍鰜?,因為怕獵人和豹子追過來。雖然森林里大部分地方都是黑漆漆的,但是,陽光偶爾也會透過樹葉的縫隙照進來。森林里有的地方能照到太陽,有的地方照不到太陽,所以,動物們的身上有的地方也就常常被太陽曬到,有的地方永遠都曬不到太陽。過了一段時間之后,長頸鹿深褐色的皮上長出了一大塊一大塊的斑點;斑馬淺褐色的皮上也出現了一道道的條紋;羚羊也變得灰不溜秋的,背上有一些彎彎曲曲的灰道道,看上去就像是一張樹皮。它們身上的顏色變得和整個森林的顏色非常像。所以,即使別人能聽得見它們說話的聲音,聞得到它們身上的氣味,也很難找到它們。
    當豹子和獵人發(fā)現所有的動物都不見了的時候,他們非常生氣。于是,他們就不停地在草原上找來找去,發(fā)誓一定要把這些動物找回來,否則的話,他們就什么東西也不吃。當然,最后他們還是得抓一些老鼠呀、甲蟲呀什么的來填飽肚子。因為,在沒找到長頸鹿它們之前,他們就已經餓得受不了了。
    一天,正當豹子和獵人肚子餓得咕咕叫的時候,他們遇到了一只大猩猩,這只大猩猩可是森林里最聰明的動物。
    “嗨,大猩猩!你知道草原上的動物都跑到哪里去了嗎?”豹子問道。
    雖然大猩猩知道那些動物都跑到森林里去了,但是,它覺得豹子太沒有禮貌了,所以它不搭理它。
    這時,獵人又和大猩猩打招呼:“你好,大猩猩先生!你能告訴我那些草原上的動物都跑到什么地方去了嗎?”
    可是,大猩猩想擺一下架子,所以還是眨了眨眼睛,不理獵人。
    于是,獵人只好再問了一遍:“尊敬的大猩猩先生,麻煩您能告訴我森林里的動物們都跑到哪里去了嗎?謝謝您!”
    這下子大猩猩才懶洋洋地開了口,它說:“那些動物們都跑到另外一個地方去了,反正你們也找不到,我勸你們還是不要白費工夫了。”
    “話是這么說,可是,自從它們走了之后,我們每天都茶飯不香,因為少了這么一群好伙伴,我們覺得很寂寞?!鲍C人假惺惺地說。
    “哼,算了吧!我還不知道你們的心思。實話告訴你們吧,那些動物都跑到一個大森林里去了,就算你們找到那個森林,也未必能找得到它們?!贝笮尚烧f。
    “為什么?”豹子覺得很奇怪。
    “因為它們的生活環(huán)境變了,所以它們的樣子也發(fā)生了改變,也許長頸鹿變得不再像以前的長頸鹿,斑馬也變得不再像以前的斑馬了。”大猩猩說。
    “哦?真有這么回事?我們倒想看看它們現在都變成了什么樣子。”獵人很感興趣地說。
    “如果你們想看到它們現在的樣子,除非你們先改變自己現在的模樣。”大猩猩說。 “好,謝謝大猩猩先生了!”獵人高興地說。然后,他就和豹子繼續(xù)往前走,這次他們知道要去找森林了。
    就這樣,他們不停地找啊找啊,找了很多天,走了很多路,終于來到了那座大森林旁邊。
    “咦?這是什么地方,里面黑咕隆咚的,卻又有一些光線?!北诱f。
    “是啊,這個地方好奇怪啊!會不會就是大猩猩說的大森林?我聞到了長頸鹿的氣味,也聽到了它的聲音,但是,我卻找不到它!”獵人說。
    “是啊,是啊,我也聞到了斑馬的氣味,聽見了斑馬的叫聲,卻看不見它在哪里!我想這也許是我們剛從亮處進來的緣故。”豹子說。
    “不對不對!我想是因為我們已經有好長時間沒見過它們了,所以把它們的模樣都給忘記了。即使看見了也已經不認識了?!鲍C人說。
    “胡說八道!”豹子怒吼道,“我可是清清楚楚地記著它們的模樣:長頸鹿有五米多高,從頭到腳都是深褐色的;斑馬呢,渾身上下都是淺褐色的!”
    “哦!對不起!這樣說來,在這個黑咕隆咚的森林里,長頸鹿它們看起來應該像是熟透了的香蕉?!鲍C人說。
    可是,就像大猩猩說的那樣,那些動物們已經不是以前的那副樣子了。所以,盡管豹子和獵人在森林里轉悠了一天,到處尋找斑馬、長頸鹿和羚羊,但是,他們什么都沒有找到。雖然他們能聽得見它們的說話聲,能聞得見從它們身上散發(fā)出來的氣味,但是他們連它們的影子都沒找到。
    到了該吃午飯的時間,豹子的肚子已經餓得咕咕叫了,它又氣又急地對獵人說:“看在老天的分上,咱們先休息一陣子吧,我已經筋疲力盡了。光天化日之下,咱們竟然連一只羚羊或者斑馬什么的都捉不到,這要是讓別人知道了肯定要嘲笑我們一輩子的。咱們還是等天黑以后再說吧?!?BR>    于是,他們就在森林里干坐著,等著天黑。好不容易天終于黑了,正在這個時候,豹子聽到了斑馬的呼吸聲,這個聲音就是從它的身后傳過來的!只見豹子猛一轉頭,朝著聲音傳來的地方就撲過去了??墒?,這個東西聞起來像斑馬,摸起來像斑馬,蹬腿的樣子也像斑馬,但就是看不見它的樣子。豹子騎在它的腦袋上,說:“不許說話,你這個奇形怪狀的家伙!我要在你的腦袋上一直坐到天亮,我倒要看看你到底長得什么樣?到底是什么怪物?”
    過了一會,豹子聽到獵人在一旁喊道:“我抓到了一個看不見的東西!這個東西有長頸鹿的氣味,蹬腿的樣子也和長頸鹿很像,但是,就是看不見它的模樣!”
    “如果你不知道它到底是什么東西,那你就坐在它的頭上吧,一直坐到天亮,到時候再看看它們到底是什么東西!”豹子說。
    就這樣,豹子和獵人一直坐到天亮。
    豹子問獵人:“嗨,你坐著的到底是什么東西?”
    獵人撓了撓頭,說:“應該是長頸鹿,可是,它的身上長滿了斑點,可見,它又不會是長頸鹿。兄弟,你底下坐的是什么東西?”
    豹子也搔了搔頭,說:“應該是斑馬,可是,它渾身布滿了條紋。你就老實交代吧,斑馬!你為什么變成了這個樣子?”
    “那你先讓我們起來,我們就告訴你們是怎么回事?!卑唏R說。
    于是,獵人和豹子讓斑馬和長頸鹿了起來。斑馬和長頸鹿跑到樹陰底下,只見他們身上有的地方被太陽曬到,有的地方沒有被曬到。
    “你們看見了吧?就這么簡單。好了,我們還有事,先走了。你們去別的地方找食物吧!”斑馬和長頸鹿說完轉身就不見了。
    豹子和獵人睜大了眼睛找斑馬和長頸鹿,但是他們只看見一條條、一點點射進森林的陽光,根本找不到它們的人影了。
    “嘿!我們上當了!不過,我們確實應該聽大猩猩的話,我們得先改變一下我們皮膚的顏色。不然的話,那些動物能看得見我們,而我們看不見它們,這樣我們就別想抓到它們?!鲍C人說。
    “改變皮膚的顏色?你沒有搞錯吧?你要把皮膚的顏色弄成什么樣子?”豹子很驚奇地問獵人。
    “我要變成黑褐色,這樣斑馬、長頸鹿它們就看不見我了?!鲍C人說。
    “那我該怎么辦?我的皮膚要變成什么顏色呢?”豹子問道。
    “你在身上弄一些條紋或者斑點,這樣看起來和長頸鹿或者和斑馬像一些?!鲍C人說。
    “我才不愿意和斑馬一樣呢!它長得多難看啊。”豹子說。
    “那你就弄斑點吧,這樣看上去更帥!”獵人說。
    “唉……那好吧!你幫我弄上一些斑點吧。不過,你可千萬不要把斑點弄得太大了,那樣顯得太俗氣,我可不愿意長得和長頸鹿相像!”
    “沒問題,我用我的手指尖為你點斑點?!鲍C人說。
    于是,獵人先把自己全身上下全都涂上黑顏色,然后,把五個手指并在一起,把自己身上多余的黑顏色點在豹子的身上。所以,我們現在會發(fā)現豹子身上的斑點都是五個一堆,五個一堆的。在獵人為豹子點斑點的時候,有時指尖滑動了,所以,豹子身上的斑點也就有點模糊。
    當豹子的身上有了斑點之后,它就在森林里住了下來,因為它又可以利用自己身體顏色的優(yōu)勢來抓動物了。
