One day the Parrot said to the Hare, "Friend."

Then the Hare having said, "What? We two are friends indeed. From

our friendship what will be the profit? Should you find and give

me a mate we should indeed be friends," afterwards the Parrot said,

"If so, stay there until the time when I come [after] finding a mate

On the following day, when the Parrot came he met with a

Mouse-deer. Having seen the Parrot the Mouse-deer says, "Friend,

where is your friend?"
