“Ho, warrior. I will come back very soon. Remain here for a while,” said Big Turtle.
Again they departed. As they went, they reached a bad path. Very high logs were lying across it. Redbreasted Turtle failed to step over them.
“Ho, O war chief,” he said. “I am not going beyond here with you.”
“Ho, warrior. I will come again very soon. Remain here for a while,” said Big Turtle.
Again they departed. As they went, behold, a Big Wolf came.
“O war chief, again one has come,” said they.
“I suspect what he will say, warriors. Wait for him. Stand in a row,” said Big Turtle.
“Ho,” he said, addressing Wolf, “Come, speak quickly, whatever may be your business. When I walk on a journey, I am in a very great hurry.”
“Yes, O war chief. It is so. It was told of you regularly, saying that you walked on a journey; and as I desired to walk there, I have sought you,” said Wolf.
“Ho! Show me what you can do,” said Big Turtle. “You may have been thinking about it. I wish to see your ways.”
