At a certain time for a certain Frog food became deficient. Having
gone near a certain Crab he brought paddy. He having brought the
paddy, after not much time had gone the Crab asked the Frog for the
[repayment of the] paddy debt. Then the Frog said, "I will afterwards
give [you] the debt."
For the Frog's getting two from the naeliya [23] that holds four patas,
the Crab falsely asked for seven.
So the Frog in this fashion swears:--"By Karagama Devi, by the one
daughter of mine, out of the naeliya of four patas [it was], two,
two, two, two." [24]
Then the Turtle, being there, says from a side, "If [you] got them,
give; if [you] got them, give." [25]
Notwithstanding this, the Frog did not give them.
