How the Leopard Got His Claws by John Iroaganachi, Chinua Achebe, Mary GrandPré

3.0

This sounds a lot like some modern governments and the people they govern. They follow the strongest “leader” out of fear, regardless of his ability to lead or his concern for his people. Then they all persist in praising their misery and mercilessly tormenting anyone who dares to speak out. And don’t ever try to leave a tyrannical government, because it’s not allowed.

A truly wise and kind king wouldn’t have turned on his people the way the leopard did. They may be cowardly sheep, but a true leader forgives these weaknesses.
