ABSTRACT

This story is about certain Birds, Magpies. They used to go to the middle of a lake where they could get food in the mud, the fruit of a small kadainya (1) like mangoes. They did this every day, and once they let fall one of the fruits just by the door of the Spider's house, so next morning at daybreak the Spider found it (2) and ate it. Then he said " Ahem," and he went to the house of the Birds and asked them about it, he said " Where do you get this ? " And they replied " Over there far away." Then he said "When you are going next time will you not ask me to go too ? " So they said very well," [and he went home].
