A Dutchman was walking by himself and saw Snake lying under a large stone. Snake implored1 his help; but when she had become free she said, "Now I shall eat you."

The Man answered, "That is not right. Let us first go to Hare."

When Hare had heard the affair, he said, "It is right."

"No," said the Man, "let us ask Hyena2."

Hyena declared the same, saying, "It is right."

"Now let us ask Jackal," said the Man in his despair.

Jackal answered very slowly and considerately, doubting the whole affair, and demanding to see first the place, and whether the Man was able to lift the stone. Snake lay down, and[104] the Man, to prove the truth of his account, put the stone again over her.

When she was fast, Jackal said, "Now let her lie there."
