The Kingdom of the Snow Leopard

'"Here is the Shining Star," said the King and the boy took a step forward.' (ll. 12-13, p. 68)

'"The Shining Star is the most precious thing on Earth," said the King calmly. "Do you really think the most precious thing on Earth is a diamond? Do you really think the most precious thing on Earth is money?"' (ll. 16-18, p. 68)

 This story tells us what is the most important and precious thing on Earth. The Kingdom of Leopard is an imaginary country which has no Coca-Cola, no McDonald's, no TV and no the Internet. It is a big difference with almost all countries these days. So, this story gives us the opportunity to think what if we were in the world without these things which we tend to think necessary.
