MAN. I pray thee wait till the next animal comes to drink!
ALLIGATOR (impatiently). Have I not told thee of my hunger?
MAN. Listen! Some animal comes through the forest now.
[Enter the LEOPARD. He comes down to drink.]
Leopard, I would question thee.
LEOPARD (curtly). Well?
MAN. How dost thou repay the one who doth thee a favor?
LEOPARD (curtly, as before). By doing him a wrong.
[He drinks and goes.]
ALLIGATOR. Ha, ha, ha! It is just as I said! I will now eat thee forthwith!
