Then answered the animal to whom the question was first put—
"I, child of my mother and father's love,
I, mother and father's love, I have not done it."
All answered the same; but when he asked Little Fox, Little Fox said—
"I, child of my mother and father's love,
I, mother and father's love, have tied thee!"
Then Lion tore the rope made of sinews, and ran after Little Fox. But Jackal said:
"My boy, thou son of lean Mrs. Fox, thou wilt never be caught."
Truly Lion was thus beaten in running by Little Fox.
