"They are of no use," they said, "though they may please women. If you want to please men you should give them hatchets and arms."
The leopardess came rushing under the elephants from behind, and would have seized it, but, with frightful contortions of visage and a loathsome howl, it gave itself a rapid rotatory twist, sprang from her, and buried itself in the ground.
