On a certain day, a man having gone to a chena which he had cut,
and in which he had sown grain, as he was walking along at the edge
of the fence, on this side of the corner of the stick fence a tail
was visible, it is said.
Having gone near very quietly, when he looked, a leopard lying at
the edge of the fence, having let its tail come inside the chena,
was asleep, it is said.
Thereupon, this man on this side of the fence seized the leopard's
tail which it had put there. After he seized it he cannot kill it,
he cannot let go; should he let go, the leopard will kill the man.
When the man was staying [there] thinking, "How is the expedient for
this?" he saw a Washerman going along, taking a bundle of clothes. So
this man called him, saying, "Washerman-uncle, come here."
