Note 3 — CONTENTS (continued 5)
Reading edition
Once upon a time, just prior to their going up to the woods to snare birds, the older brother addressed the younger brother, saying: “When we get up into the woods today to snare birds and you should catch any of them having holes in their beaks, those are my birds; do not take them. You must give me those birds and the birds without holes in the beak are yours to keep for yourself.”3 The younger brother assented to this.
