Hey Inez,
it's a very nice story for smiling. I had fun with it.

I have a question for grammer. I'm shure, you will help me. In the past (long time ago) I have learn'd animals are not persons. You can tell me because the Leopard is a "She" and the Baboon is a "He"? Or is it only in this story (fable) so used? (Personifizierung von Tieren?)
Also I saw two additional words for crying (yell, scream), wonderfull.

For five weeks I'm a subscriber and I try to go as often as I can to the spotlight sides. I love it to go here.
Thanks, SchubiDu!

SchubiDu, on behalf of Inez, I'd like to thank you for your very nice comment. As regards the grammar, well, in English the masculine/feminine categorization is reserved for humans. The exception to this rule tends to be pets. Some owners will refer to their dog as "he" and their cat as "she" when the natural gender is known. EXAMPLE: "Buster is a very good dog, isn't he?" a person might say, or "Minny is such a beautiful cat. She spends most of the day sleeping."

Hello Eamonn,
Thank you very much for your very good answer. Your explanation is very understandable.

As regards of the grammar I have a second question for you. Few month ago I had following sentence as question.
"What ate you for breakfest ?" It was been telling me, the kind of asking is wrong. "What" -> in this case could be a crocodile...and if it had me ate? What a dangerously missunderstanding. ...*laughs. My question would had been to formulate: What did you eat for breakfest. I think this topic fits to my previous question.
Dear Eamonn, do you have an answer for me?
Best wishes SchubiDu
