'Oh, I found after all that I could get across the rocks quite easily, so it seemed a pity not to keep my bag, answered Gudu. 'Well, as you tricked me into throwing away mine, you ought to let me share with you, said Isuro. But Gudu pretended not to hear him, and strode along the path.
If Gudu had only known, Isuro was asleep all the time; but this he never guessed, and by-and-bye he grew so tired with watching that he went to sleep himself. Soon after, Isuro woke up, and he too felt hungry, so he crept softly to the pot and ate all the meat, while he tied the bones together and hung them in Gudu's fur. After that he went back to the wood-pile and slept again.
While he was doing this, Isuro collected sticks for a fire, and when it was kindled, Gudu hastened to another hut to steal a pot which he filled with water from the river, and, planting two branches in the ground, they hung the pot with the meat in it over the fire.
The rabbit would have liked to ask him why he ate food that he knew would burn him, only he was afraid, and just nodded in reply; but when they had gone on a little further, he said to Gudu: 'I have dropped my needle; wait here a moment while I go and fetch it. 'Be quick then, answered Gudu, climbing into a tree.
'I think you told me you were fond of porridge, said Gudu; but Isuro answered: 'You are mistaking me for somebody else, as I always eat meat when I can get it. And again Gudu was forced to be content with the porridge, which he hated.
But they must have looked guilty after all, for suddenly an old man pointed to them, and cried: 'Those are thieves. And at the sound of his voice the big Gudu trembled all over. 'How dare you say such things? I defy you to prove it, answered Isuro boldly. And he danced forward, and turned head over heels, and shook himself before them all.
Then the rabbit rubbed his eyes, and gathered a store of fresh green things from under the bushes, and told Gudu that he was ready for the journey. They went on quite happily for some distance, and at last they came to a river with rocks scattered here and there across the stream.
And with a heavy sigh, the rabbit unfastened his bag of food, which fell into the river. The road on the other side led down an avenue of trees, and before they had gone very far Gudu opened the bag that lay hidden in the thick hair about his neck, and began to eat some delicious-looking fruit. 'Where did you get that from? asked Isuro enviously.
So I am going to kill one of those goats, and as you are a good cook you must boil the flesh for me. The rabbit nodded, and Gudu disappeared behind a rock, but soon returned dragging the dead goat with him.
'It will not be fit to eat for two hours at least, said Gudu, 'so we can both have a nap. And he stretched himself out on the ground, and pretended to fall fast asleep, but, in reality, he was only waiting till it was safe to take all the meat for himself.
