How the Leopard Got His Spots (26:28)

This creative tale, rich with subtle humor and the sounds of South African a cappella harmonies, tells an endearing story about an animal’s ability to adapt.  Hunting on the African plains used to be easy for the leopard since his light coat blended with the yellow hues of the landscape.  But when all the animals moved to out of the plains, things got much harder—so for his own survival, he had to acquire spots. 

The Monkey People (24:34)
Read by Raul Julia . Original Music by Lee Ritenour
This Colombian fable is about a relaxed village in the Amazon jungle.  One day when a mysterious man arrives, he creates monkeys who do everything for the villagers which seems too good to be true.  When the monkeys take on every human activity—including complaining—the villagers have to deal with the serious and silly consequences.
