Note 3 — 78

Reading edition

When the turtle got a long way, he met the lizard again and they saw some honey on the branch of a tree. “I run first to get,” said the turtle; but the big lizard ran fast and seized the honey; then the bees stung him and he ran back to the turtle. On their road they saw a bird snare. The turtle said, “That is the paliget3 of my grandfather.” Then the lizard ran very fast to get it, but it caught his neck and held him until the man who owned it came and killed him. Then the turtle went away. Page 197
