So the hare said, "Let me look at your spear and knife. See, here are
mine, and you can see that I have killed my mother, truly."
Then was the jackal ashamed, and the hare said to him, "Oh, my brother,
you have deceived me. We agreed that each one must do as the other, and
now I have gone and killed my mother, and you have not done likewise. We
must both go and kill your mother, so that we may both be without our
mothers."
So they went and killed the jackal's mother, and the jackal was very
sorry.
After that the hare said to the jackal, "Now, my brother, we must eat
nothing but insects." So they went about the forest trying to catch
insects to eat, but when the jackal slept the hare used to run into that
cave where he had hidden his mother, and she fed him.
The jackal lived with the hare, trying to catch enough insects to eat,
and he grew thinner and thinner, till at last he died.
Now when all the animals heard how the hare had deceived the jackal, and
made him kill his mother, and how he had made him live on nothing but
insects till he died, they were very angry with the hare. Then they
held a meeting, and it was asked, "Who is a match for the hare in
cunning?"
