Brahman. No, no, no. The road and the tree and the buffalo said the tiger should kill and eat me!
Jackal. It all goes in one ear and out the other. It’s very confusing. Take me to the place where it happened. Then I shall be able to understand.
[Brahman and Jackal go to Tiger.]
Tiger. You have been away a long time. I want my dinner.
Brahman. Just wait until I make the jackal understand how it all happened. He is so slow in his wits! I must explain things to him.
Jackal. Show me where you stood.
Brahman. Here, by the cage.
Jackal. Right there?
Brahman. Right here.
Jackal. Where was the tiger then?
