"What are those things at the side of your head?" "Those are my ears," said the sister-goat."What are those things like jewels in the front of your head?" "Those are my eyes," said the sister-goat. "And what is that littl thing behind you?" said the hyena."That is my tail," said the sister-goat. The hyena looked at her and she was very afraid. He said," I shall eat you."
E. Then the hyena questioned the second sister-goat in the same way, and the second sister-goat gave the same answers; and the hyena looked at her and he said,"I shall eat you." And it was the same with the third sister-goat. Zaloat was still eating happily. Then the hyena came to Zaloat and he said,"What is that thing in your mouth which makes a noise?" " That?" said Zaloat."That is my bugle.Soldiers have a bugle. They blow it when they make war." "What are those things at the side of your head?" " Those are my shield," said Zaloat."They keep me safe." "And what are those things at the front of your head-those things like jewels?" said the hyena. 'Those are the fires of my eyes." "And what are those things on the top of your head?""Those are my speare," said Zaloat."I shall drie those spears into your body and you will die." Then the hyena was afraid and he ran away. Zaloat ran after him and drove him far away. The hyena never came back to the field again. So Zaloat and his three sisters were very happy and they got fatter-and fatter-and fatter. |
