Note 3 — V The Cunning Old Man and the Demi
Marjory Scott Wardrop translation
There went with the demi nine wolves and jackals, to give evidence against the old man. The old man looked out, and saw the demi coming along in front, with the wolves and jackals behind him. The old man cried to the demi: ‘Dost thou not owe me more than ten wolves and jackals?’ The wolves and jackals exchanged glances, and said: ‘It would seem that this demi has betrayed us.’ They threw themselves on the demi and turned him into dust.3
