29 And that which was a shield and a covering unto the tanks was tough past all belief; yea, even the hide of the rhinoceros did not compare unto this. And all the missiles that the men of Hu did send against it were as peas upon a roof that is whole, and it availed them nothing.
30 And in its gait it was like unto a man that hath taken strong drink, having first devoured much rice. For in such case does the belly grow big and the footsteps do become unsteady. Wherefore it was a thing for laughter amongst the men of En; but in the hosts of Hu it was a thing for fear.
31 And men told strange tales of the things that it did do. And it was said that upon an occasion it did sally forth and, in its adventuring, it did meet with an habitation.
32 And it did go up unto the habitation and it did look upon it. And it did go against the habitation with a purpose so that the walls did fall about it and there was ruination on all sides.
33 And after it had shaken itself free from all that which had fallen upon it, it did betake itself with modesty unto another place as a man that is overcome with shyness and seeketh to pass it over. Verily, it recked nothing of the thing that it had done.
34 ¶ Wherefore, and because it did smite them hip and thigh, sparing not any man that did come up against it, the men of Hu were afraid, and they did cry out with loud lamentations, saying, Why do ye so despitefully use us? Know ye not that it is not in the war to do these things?
35 And because men knew them, they heeded not their groans, so that it availed them nothing; and the tank remained a thing of terror throughout all their hosts.
36 And in this thing the men of En were first amongst all the fighters of Eur, for it was new. And the people rejoiced, being satisfied that it was given unto them as a sign that the rulers were becoming awake.
