Why will you eat me?’ He said ‘Man is treacherous’. He said ‘Whenever a man does a service, always in the end he strikes the man performing the service’. He said ‘Ask (others)!’ A horse came. He said to him ‘He will arbitrate between me and you’. She asked him saying ‘Is it true that man is treacherous? Whenever one does good to him, he acts treacherously?’ He said ‘Yes, he acts treacher-ously’. She said ‘How can that be?’ He said ‘I am a horse. All my life he (my master) has been putting loads on my back. When I die, he will strip off my skin and make it into shoes to wear on his feet’. Every one that came said something. She saw a fox. She waved her hand like this. ‘I shall give you a chicken as a bribe’. She said ‘What is your judgement?’ She said ‘He was in a cage. I released him. Now he says “Man is treacherous, I must eat him” ’ He said ‘I do not understand. Come let’s go and see where it was’. They went and took him to the cage’. He said to him ‘Where were you?’ ‘I was in this cage’. He said ‘Go in so that we can see how you got in and fitted in it’. He went in and he closed the door. He said (to the girl) ‘Go!’ He saved her. She went to bring a chicken for him. She went and said to her father ‘The situation is like this, I have done such-and-such. I have given a promise to a fox who has saved me from a tiger. How can I give it to him, the chicken to the fox?’ He said ‘Come, I’ll take it for you’. They gave a chicken to her, she gave it to her father and he went off. He brought a stick with him. The fox came. The fox was happy. He said ‘Now he will give me the chicken’. He said ‘Throw it’. He said ‘No. I shall not throw it. I must put it in your mouth. Come, I do not believe the kindness you have done to me’. He came close to him, put the chicken in his mouth and struck the stick on his head. So, man is indeed treacherous.
