ABSTRACT

There was once a certain King, and, while his evening meal was being prepared, a Hawk, which was carrying a piece of human flesh, flew over the palace, and, while she was flying, the flesh slipped from her grasp, and fell into the soup, and no one saw it. So when the food had been cooked, it was taken off the fire, and brought to the King, and the soup also was brought. So the piece of human flesh was put before him, and he ate it.
