Note 1 — The Crocodile and the Jackal
H. (Henry) Parker translation
On the bank of that river there were Muruta1 trees, and there were flowers on those Muruta trees. The Crocodile said to the Crab, “I will lie down on the high ground. You bring flowers that have fallen below those Muruta trees and cover me.” Having said [this], the Crocodile lay down on the high ground near the water, and the Crab having brought the Muruta flowers covered the Crocodile.
