At this they both fled, and in their struggles to separate all the hair on the jackal's tail was scraped off and the jackal called out "Alas, alas! Uncle, you have scraped off all my skin!" CXXIII. The Jackal and the Leopards.
Now you must know that thieves always use the jackal's cry as a note of warning, so that when at the very same moment Little Anklebone's thread snapped, and he fell plump on the head of the chief robber, the man imagined some one had thrown a pebble at him, and, shouting 'Run! run! we are discovered! he bolted away as hard as he could, followed by his companions, leaving all the treasure behind them.
Kathlyn's hair, however, was securely hidden, and must be kept so. A bit of carelessness on her part, a sportive wind, and she would be lost. She had been for dyeing her hair, but Bruce would not hear of this desecration. So they entered the lion's den, or, rather, the jackal's.
But the nilkanth bird pecked and pecked at the jackal's tail until it not only pecked itself loose but hurt the tail so much that it became festered and swollen. As the jackal went along with his swollen tail he met a potter going to market with earthern pots for sale.
Whether designedly driven, or whether by chance, one cannot tell, but the fact remains that the hare took a "line of country" which, if persisted in, would lead her close past the jackal's lair, or, rather, his wife's lair. This was important for the jackal.
The girl sprang to her feet. "I I was just burning a a some rubbish," she answered. "Here I am, not in the lion's den, but in the jackal's, and my stay must be brief. Canst detect that I am big with news?" "Of what?" "This morning Sir Henry Clinton arrived, and for the first time the army learns that Sir William has resigned his command, and is leaving us.
At last the jackal said to the tortoise, 'I should like to give you my bag and everything in it, but the only answer the tortoise made was to grasp the jackal's leg tighter still. So matters stood when the other animals came back. The moment he saw them, the jackal gave a violent tug, and managed to free his leg, and then took to his heels as fast as he could.
Then, one day, the Jackal's wife invited her six sisters to come and pay her a visit.
Then the Barber's wife thought, "Well, it is hard not to grant the poor beast's last request; he will not live long enough to have many more pleasures." So she untied the Jackal's legs and held him by a rope, that he might drink from the puddle. But quick as possible, he gave a jump and a twist and a pull, and, jerking the rope out of her hand, escaped once more into the jungle.
Also, Mayes knows that we have his cheque-book and know his bank. Didn't I assure you we were watched last night? I believe he knows all we have done. In such circumstances he might risk his jackal's liberty by sending him on the desperate chance of cashing a cheque, but, knowing the risk, he would never have let him come with information on him.
