"It is all very dark!" he exclaimed. "Jump quick, then!" cried the Tortoise. So the Monkey jumped; but he got killed from the sharp bamboo-points on which he landed. Then the Tortoise made a fire, and roasted the Monkey. He cut off the Monkey's ears, and they turned into buyo-leaves. He cut out the heart, and it turned into betel-nut. He made the tail into pungaman.
The monkeys ran up, chattering, and tried to snatch the betel-nuts; but the Tortoise held them back, saying, "Wait a minute! By and by I will give you some." Then the monkeys sat around, waiting, while the Tortoise prepared the betel-nut. He cut the nuts and the pungaman into many small pieces, and the buyo-leaf too, and gave them to the monkeys and the other animals.
The stomach he made into a basket. He put into the basket the betel and the lime and the pungaman and the buyo, and crawled away. Soon he heard the noise of many animals gathered together. He found the monkeys and the deer and the pigs and the wild birds having a big rice-planting. All the animals were rejoiced to see the Tortoise coming with a basket, for they all wanted to chew betel.
