C.Zaloat looked at them. "They are not telling me the truth," he though, So he said to them,"I DO not believe you. Put your foot in your mouth and bring up what you have been eating." The sisters did this and he saw that they been eating rich green grass. But Zaloat had been eating only dirt and bits of paper and cloth. So Zaloat said to them, "Where did you find this rich green grass?You must take me to the field of rich green grass." They said,"Dear brother Zaloat,you love eating. We know that you will not leave the place once you have begun eating,and when night comes the hyrna will catch you and eat you." "You must take me there," he said."I must go to the place where you eat."
D.So the three took Zaloat to their field andZalaot began to eat.He ate-and he ate-and he ate,and he did not think of what his sisters had told him about the hyena. The sun went down and Zaloat was there,eating-and eating-and eating."Come away,come away,Zaloat," said his sisters."Do come away." But he did not hear them. Then the hyena came.The hyena went to the three sisters and said to the first,"What is that thing in your mouth that makes a noise?" "That is my tongue,"said the sister-goat.
