ABSTRACT

This is about a Hyæna and a Spider. The Spider said "O Hyæna, buy honey, and let us go and do homage to the King," and the Hyæna replied "Agreed." So they bought honey, and they were travelling on and on, when the Hyæna said to the Spider " I am going into the bush for a minute." Then the Spider said " Very well, but put down your pot of honey and leave it here until you come back."* But the Hyæna replied " Oh no, surely it is my own I " So she went into the bush and drank the honey, and when she had done so she placed some dirt in the pot instead, and then she returned to the Spider.
