Note 1 — The Cat who guarded the Precepts

H. (Henry) Parker translation

At a village there are a Leopard and a Lizard.1 The Lizard and Leopard cut a chena, it is said. Afterwards both having quarrelled they divided the chena between them. In the part which the Lizard got he planted Kaekiri creepers, which became large; in the part which the Leopard got the Kaekiri died, and he abandoned it.
