Having gone he says to the Jackals, “[After] speaking words with the Turtles who are in that pond regarding taking and giving wives I have come away.”
Then the other Jackals said, “It is very good. Some day let us all go.” So they spoke.
Again on a day, after the Jackal had gone to the pond to drink water, on that day, having seen that Turtles more than on the other day were [there], he says, “Friends, to-day about all of you are [here]. Because of it, on what day will it be good to come and summon [our wives]?” he asked.
“We will say in a day or two days,” they said.
The Jackal having drunk water and having gone, said to the other Jackals, “They said they will say in a day or two days [on which day we are to go to summon our wives].”
Then the Jackal whom the Turtle cheated said, “In some way or other we must completely destroy them. Friends, somehow or other having gone and spoken about this wedding, make ready quickly,” he said.
On the following day this Jackal went to drink water, and to speak about the wedding. Having drunk water the Jackal asked the Turtles, “When will it be good to come?”
“To-morrow will be good,” the Turtles said.
Then the Jackal says, “We shall all come. All ye also having got ready be present.”
Having said this, the Jackal quickly came running, and after all the Jackals had collected together, said, “Let nobody of ye go anywhere to-morrow. We must all go to call the Turtles for the wedding, and return.”
