29. THE CAT AND THE HARE AND THE PARTRIDGE

As related by a partridge:

“One upon a time, I was living in a certain tree. In the hollow, at the foot of the tree, lived a partridge, by the name Kapinjala. In the course of time, we became good friends. Every day, at sunset, we would return home and tell each other stories about the holy men and such things, and talk over together about what had happened during the day. In this way, we passed our time very nicely.
