Note 2 — The Lizard and the Leopard

Having fought in that way, the Leopard, becoming afraid, went away. The Lizard went and washed off the mud. The Leopard having gone and crawled under the corn store at a house, while sitting there says, “Bite thou me here, too, Lizard. Bite thou me here, too, Lizard.”2 While he was there saying it he saw a boy [near him]. Then the Leopard says, “Aḍē! Do not tell any one, or I will kill thee.” Because of it, the boy being afraid did not tell any one.
