13:09 middle of the jungle and looked at himself very carefully in the water and then he laughed out loud so many spots no no so many many spots did you thought again no no no so many many many spots but oh dear he thought how many spots do i have

13:42 fish heard laddu and popped out of the water hi lado water jumped up and down splash splash oh go away mr fish you've made me gold wiggly squiggly said ladoo bye ladoo and the fish disappeared into the water baby monkey who was sitting on a tree laughed my mother can count all your spots he said mama monkey jumped down from the tree

14:14 she came to laddu and touched one spot one she said black felt very happy mama monkey continued to count two three four and then she stopped and said i have four children i can count to four when i have more children i learn to count more thank you mama monkey and ladoo walked away sadly

14:44 after a little while ladoo saw elephant he ran up to elephant and he said elephant elephant you are big and clever will you count my spots sure said elephant i can do that and so with his trunk he tapped ladles one of ladu's spots and said one two three four five

15:17 six seven eight nine ten he stopped and trumpeted loudly ladder was very happy and then elephants started counting again ten nine eight seven six five four three two one there i have done it

15:47 said elephant you have one spot [Laughter] an elephant walked away feeling very clever do you think he counted properly no he didn't count properly i'd love to thought that too i don't think elephant counted properly laddu said baby monkey laughed at him from the tree top [Laughter] no one in the jungle can count he said but laddu had an idea

16:18 he went to the pond and he waited he waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and he waited and waited and waited and waited and waited until sunset all the animals came to the pond to drink water and laddu stood on a large rock and called out loudly to everyone listen everyone listen a prize for the wise a prize to be got

16:52 by the one who can count my spots count counter spots counter spots counter spots everyone was really excited they all wanted to count the spots of laddu they wanted the prize old boar came to laddu and shook his head when i was young i could count up to 100 but you got very happy but now i've forgotten

17:23 he said oh that won't help thank you old boy just then in the bushes like to heard something swish swish swish swish and suddenly out of the bushes jumped hair and hair came hopping to laddu and said counter spots count your spots count your spots counter spots did you say he asked yes yes i can count i can count i can count your spots okay please count my spots said ladu he picked up his tail

17:55 he touched one spot at the end of the tail and said dark and then he touched the next spot and said light and then he touched the one next to it and said dark and then he started counting one at a time dark light dark light dark light dark light dark light dark light dark light dark light and all the other animals gathered around over there and started tapping their feet to keep the

18:26 count but laddu was not happy hair kept on counting dark light dark light dark light dark light and all the rest kept on tapping at last laddu shouted enough hair stopped counting the others stopped tapping and for a little while no one spoke

19:00 and then hair said in a clear voice laddu has only two spots one dark spot and one light spot very good counting excellent counting excellent counting well done hair everyone praised hair for the great counting that he did hair hair is right he must get a prize but we did not agree but they all kept shouting a prize for the hair we do declare come on come on

25:11 the quiz so well let's move to our art and craft activity you are going to need some help from your parents on this and some materials which i will tell you in just a little bit uh if the steps are going too fast you can pause the video and complete the step and then move forward okay so today's activity is that we are going to create our very own little leopard cub [Music] i am led to

25:39 i don't know how many spots i have so for today's activity what you're going to require is a square origami paper it would be the color of your choice you're going to need some googly eyes you're going to require a marker and some glue that's about it okay so let's begin [Music]

26:19 take your square paper and fold it diagonally into half it makes a nice triangle [Music] [Music] next take the corners on the folded side

26:50 and then fold towards the top corner of the large triangle [Music] once you have done that you need to fold the tips into an approximate half

27:21 they will be slightly sideways but that's fine [Music] [Music] there you go the basic face of the leopard is ready next take the bottom open part of the shape and fold a smaller triangle towards the front and then the back

27:54 [Music] and then fold the top part of the head towards the back too [Music]

28:25 next let's give it eyes take the googly eyes and stick it onto the face if you don't have googly eyes you can even draw it out [Music] and finally let's draw the nose mouth whiskers and then spots [Music]

29:11 spot spots beautiful spots spread all over me [Music] and you're done [Music]

29:43 that's amazing you'll have made some really cute animals well done and you can also change the design just a little bit and it would become a tiger or even a fox that was super duper fun and the little leopard cubs that you're made are so cute just like all of your so i hope all of y'all had a lot of fun and i hope you'll keep reading listening to and telling stories and keep your imagination running free and wild
