How Many Hats

How many hats does she wear in all? I asked. The leopard rolled over, his body happily sun-basked. Did you count the hats? I asked the tiger lily. She giggled at me, making me feel a tiny bit silly. How many hats in all? I asked the python. He said don’t really know, but let’s try on one. So, saying, he flipped one upside down on his head. I got away fast, for he looked like he had not recently been fed.
