DESIGN HISTORY
The leopard declares he prowls the bush to no purpose, and that the tortoise really owns his jungle kingdom. The following is the story on which the saying is based. A leopard was prowling about the bush in search of prey, and suddenly seeing a tortoise, sprang on it, exclaiming, ‘Manya We‘, I’ve got you’. The tortoise, however, replied, ‘As for me, I have been watching you long before you ever saw me. The saying is quoted in the sense that, a king may think he knows all about the affairs of his subjects, whereas in reality they probably know a great deal more about his.
When a leopard catches a tortoise it turns it over and over in vain.
