Then the lion asked her, "Why are you trembling?"
She answered, "I am trembling to think of man."
The lion asked, "What is this man?"
Bata said, "He is a creature of great cunning, who is even able to kill you."
The lion said, "Then this man must be very big and strong."
"No," said Bata, "he is neither big nor strong, but his guile is great."
Just then a dikdik came running past. When it saw the lion it stopped and greeted him. The lion asked, "What are you running from?"
The dikdik said, "I am running away from man."
"What is this man like?" said the lion.
"Oh, he is very cunning," answered the dikdik, and scampered off.
