Рикки-Тикки-Тави. Сказки

Rudyard Kipling is an English poet and writer. The tales included in this collection describe in a playful manner why certain phenomena appeared in the world: why does the elephant have a long trunk, where do leopards get their spots,... who were armadillos before they became armadillos… Perhaps these theories are not accurate, but they are very interesting to read! In addition, the collection includes the story "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi" about a brave mongoose who had to fight cobras alone.
 The text of the tale is presented in full!  How the first letter was written 
How the cat wandered wherever it pleased 
How the crab played with the sea 
Little elephant 
How the whale got its throat 
How the rhinoceros got its skin 
How the camel got its hump 
How the leopard got its spots 
The adventure of the old kangaroo 
The first armadillos 
Rikki-Tikki-Tavi 
How the moth stamped its foot
