No one can figure out who is stealing cookies right out of their hands or lunchboxes. After causing hysteria throughout the town, Leopold is finally apprehended by the authorities. While on trial Minerva, the little girl who knows Leopold's secret existence, takes a can of paint and colors Leopold so he will become visible. Leopold is then sentenced to the zoo where children visit him, constantly repainting him, and feed him crumbs.--Duana Fullwiley, 8/94.; PFA 1604-01-5085. D0434; PFA 1604-01-5085.
