Then Soongoora burst out laughing, and shouted: "Oho, Mr. Simba! You're
inside, and I'll bet you want to eat me; but first tell me where you
ever heard of a house talking!"
Upon this the lion, seeing how he had been fooled, replied angrily,
"You wait until I get hold of you; that's all."
"Oh, I think you'll have to do the waiting," cried the hare; and then
he ran away, the lion following.
But it was of no use. Soongoora completely tired out old Simba, who,
saying, "That rascal has beaten me; I don't want to have anything more
to do with him," returned to his home under the great calabash tree.
