So they had each one seven ladu-cakes made for him, and each one took a
gourd of water, and on the next day they set out.
After they had gone a day's journey Fila said to Lila, "Bring out one of
your ladus, that we may break and eat it. We will eat yours first, and
when they are finished then will we eat mine."
So they ate one of Lila's ladus. On the second day they did likewise,
and on the next and the next day, until, on the seventh day, all Lila's
ladus were finished.
On the eighth day Lila said to Fila, "Bring out one of your ladus, my
friend, that we may break and eat it, for all mine are now finished, and
hunger is hurting me."
Fila replied, "You must give me that Kanzu shirt of yours first, and
then I will give you a share of my ladu."
So Lila took off his Kanzu and gave it to Fila, and then Fila broke off
a bit from one of his ladus and gave it to him.
On the next day Lila said, "My friend, I am hungry; bring out the second
of your ladus, that we may eat it."
Fila replied, "To-day if I am to give you some of my ladu you must give
me your vest."
So Lila took off his vest and gave it to Fila, and received a piece of
ladu for it.
On the next and the next day it was the same, till, on the twelfth day,
Fila had taken away all Lila's clothes.
On the thirteenth day, when Lila asked for some ladu, Fila said, "You
must let me put out one of your eyes if you are to have any ladu
to-day."
