In Rudyard Kipling’s “How the Rhinoceros Got His Skin,” a mischievous rhinoceros learns an amusing lesson about living in his own skin after stealing a cake from a meticulous Parsee on a remote island near the Red Sea. The story, rich with rhythmic storytelling and gentle wit, explores the humorous origins of the rhinoceros’s distinctive appearance and temperament. Narrated by Ian Turrell, this timeless tale blends Edwardian charm with sly humor, making it an engaging listen for all ages.
