Chapter XIII
"What are you eating?" asked Fidu, the Underdog, returning from a fruitless chase.
"I am eating leopard's spots," replied Gud; "will you have some?"
"No thanks," returned Fidu, "for they look to me like apples of Sodom or Dead Sea fruit."
"That is what they are."
"But," retorted Fidu, "you just now said they were leopard's spots."
"So they were," said Gud, "but I changed them."
Chapter XIV
