one and cut it in two, and threw the two pieces, one by one, to the lion, which took them at once and ate them.
And it came to pass, when they were returning home, the master of the Hon said to the people, "Pass ye on leading the way, and the lion will follow behind. As for me I will follow after the lion and will slay it, because it killed the people. I was saying to myself that it would hunt buffalo for me."
So they went, and the lion, not being on the alert as they journeyed, was pierced with an arrow by its owner. It turned round, and when it saw who had pierced it, it made bounds and grappled with its master, but was killed eventually by a blow from an axe. It fell down and died.
Its master skinned it, and carried the skin home with him.
The people said, "So it is with those who are made full. Even wild beasts may change again. Those who are made full may bite those who fill them." All said, "It is bad, very bad, to bring up wild beasts."
They ate their meat.
It is finished.
The Story of a Man who was a Deceiver.
A man went to a certain village and met with some girls, and inquired of them, saying, "Where are you going?"
The girls replied and said, "We are going to a marriage. Do you wish to accompany us?"
The man agreed to go with them, and they all went on together.
So when they came to the village whither they were going, they all entered the cattle-fold and engaged in a dance, and at the close of the day they separated to their several sleeping-huts.
And it came to pass next morning that they all went to the reeds and remained there. The heads of the village prepared for the marriage-feast by killing several beasts.
