answered the hedgehog . So they went to the barn , and ate till they could eat no more . Then the jackal put on his shoes , which he had taken off so as to make no noise , and they returned to the high road . After they had gone some way they met a panther , who stopped , and bowing politely , said : ` Excuse my speaking to you , but I can not help admiring those shoes of yours . Do you mind telling me who made them ? ' ` Yes , I think they are rather nice , ' answered the jackal ; ' I made them myself , though . ' ` Could you make me a pair like them ? ' asked the panther eagerly . ' I would do my best , of course , ' replied the jackal ; ` but you must kill me a cow , and when we have eaten the flesh I will take the skin and make your shoes out of it . ' So the panther prowled about until he saw a fine cow grazing apart from the rest of the herd . He killed it instantly , and then gave a cry to the jackal and hedgehog to come to the place where he was . They soon skinned the dead beasts , and spread its skin out to dry , after which they had a grand feast before they curled themselves up for the night , and slept soundly . Next morning the jackal got up early and set to work upon the shoes , while the panther sat by and looked on with delight . At last they were finished , and the jackal arose and stretched himself . ` Now go and lay them in the sun out there , ' said he ; ` in a couple of hours they will be ready to put on ; but do not attempt to wear them before , or you will feel them most uncomfortable . But I see the sun is high in the heavens , and we must be continuing our journey . ' The panther , who always believed what everybody told him , did exactly as he was bid , and in two hours ' time began to fasten on the shoes . They certainly set off his paws wonderfully , and he stretched out his forepaws and looked at them with pride . But when he tried to walk -- ah ! that was another story !
They were so stiff and hard that he nearly shrieked every step he took , and at last he sank down where he was , and actually began XXXXX cry .
