Ca n't you see ? ' ' I can now , ' said the Leopard . ` But I could n't all yesterday . How is it done ? ' ` Let us up , ' said the Zebra , ` and we will show you . They let the Zebra and the Giraffe get up ; and Zebra moved away to some little thorn-bushes where the sunlight fell all stripy , and Giraffe moved off to some tallish trees where the shadows fell all blotchy . ` Now watch , ' said the Zebra and the Giraffe . ` This is the way it 's done . One -- two -- three ! And where 's your breakfast ? ' Leopard stared , and Ethiopian stared , but all they could see were stripy shadows and blotched shadows in the forest , but never a sign of Zebra and Giraffe . They had just walked off and hidden themselves in the shadowy forest . ` Hi ! Hi ! ' said the Ethiopian . ` That 's a trick worth learning . Take a lesson by it , Leopard . You show up in this dark place like a bar of soap in a coal-scuttle . ' ` Ho ! Ho ! '
